Respondents were asked about their experiences of discrimination, violence and harassment at work, in education, healthcare, social services and in public places such as cafes and restaurants, banks and shops. The questions drew on rights protected under EU law and other international standards.
The questionnaire also asked respondents about key elements of their daily lives, including their assessment of the public attitudes towards LGBT people, the visibility of LGBT people in public life and negative reactions from the general public. Transgender people were also asked specific questions on access to transgender specific healthcare and their experiences in changing the gender marker in official documents.
The findings show that many LGBT people cannot be themselves in their daily lives. Many hide their identity and live in isolation or even fear. Others experience discrimination and even violence.
