Lesbian and Bisexual Women: Breaking the silence on discrimination

Worldwide

Broadcast – 9 August 2016

In our genuine and good hearted attempts to be inclusive, sometimes grouping the LGBTIQ community as one creates problems. Some groups are more visible and have greater representation than others. And in some countries, women are already starting from a lower point in terms of rights before we add sexuality to the mix.

• What different types of discrimination that women face are amplified when we look at lesbians?
• Where in the world are lesbian rights going backwards?
• What is stopping greater visibility for bisexual women?

To learn about their latest report titled Breaking the Silence: Criminalisation of Lesbians and Bisexual Women and its Impacts, we speak with Tea Braun, Legal Director at Human Dignity Trust
