Abstract Violence against LGBT people has always been present in our society. Brazil is the country with the highest number of lethal crimes against LGBT people in the world. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of homicides of LGBT people in Brazil using spatial analysis. The LGBT homicide rate was used to facilitate the visualization of the geographical distribution of homicides. Public thoroughfares and the victim’s home were the most common places of occurrence. The most commonly used methods for killing male homosexuals and transgender people were cold weapons and firearms, respectively; however, homicides frequently involved beatings, suffocation, and other cruelties. The large majority of victims were aged between 20 and 49 years and typically white or brown. The North, Northeast and Central-West regions, precisely the regions with the lowest HDI, presented LGBT homicide rates above the national rate. LGBT homicides are typically hate crimes and constitute a serious public health problem because they affect young people, particularly transgender people. This problem needs to be addressed by the government, starting with the criminalization of homophobia and the subsequent formulation of public policies to reduce hate crimes and promote respect for diversity.

Between October 2023 and September 2024, at least 71 trans or gender-diverse people were murdered in Mexico. Mexico ranked as the second country with the highest number of murders of trans people in Latin America during that same period of time.

Number, percentage and rate (per 100,000 population) of homicide victims, by gender (all genders; male; female; gender unknown) and Indigenous identity (total; Indigenous identity; non-Indigenous identity; unknown Indigenous identity), Canada, provinces and territories, 2014 to 2020.

According to the source, 235 trans and gender-diverse people were reported murdered in Latin America and the Caribbean between October 2022 and September 2023. As of September 2018, a total of 219 murders had been reported in the region. Between 2011 and 2020, the number of murders stood above 200 every year.

In 2023, there were 129 victims of intimidation hate crimes motivated by anti-transgender beliefs in the United States. A further 114 people were the victims of anti-transgender simple assault in that year.

Since 2010, the number of reported cases of homicides of transgender people worldwide increased from below 180 to more than 320 in 2023. It is assumed that only a minority of the cases actually are reported, and the actual number is estimated to be significantly higher.

The EU Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Survey (EU LGBT) was conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). It is the first ever EU-wide online survey to establish an overview concerning the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people (18 years or older) and their experiences with regard to fundamental rights in the 28 EU Member States. Up until now, there has been very little comparable data collected across the EU about the everyday experiences of LGBT people with respect to discrimination, and lot of the available information is limited to occasional news reports and court judgements. As the first EU-wide survey of its kind, the results support the development of equal treatment policies for LGBT people in the European Union and set the agenda for years to come. Based on the survey results, national and European policy makers, as well as non-governmental organisations, are able to better target their advocacy strategies and activities to support LGBT communities to live and express themselves freely in a non-discriminatory environment. The survey was completely anonymous (no additional data on the participants and their sessions were logged in any way). The survey data collection operated by Gallup Europe, a professional survey and consultancy firm. In order to ensure that the survey delivers evidence needed for policy making, the EU LGBT Survey counted on the participation of a large and diverse group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people from each country. Hence, it was vitally important for the success of the survey that FRA and Gallup worked together with civil society organisations to reach a wide audience and raise awareness concerning the survey, including participants emailing the survey, sharing it through social media or simply inviting LGBT friends to take part. More information (including, downloading the data and documentation) can be found on the FRA website. The survey data can also be explored online using the FRA's Data Explorer.

78 of the recorded 321 transgender people murdered worldwide in 2023 were sex workers. The occupation of almost 160 of the victims was unknown. It is assumed that only a minority of the cases actually are reported, and the actual number is estimated to be significantly higher.

A worldwide project started in April 2009 called the Transgender Murder Monitoring Project (TMM) reported that 180 killings occurred between November 2009 and November 2010. Since January 2008, a total of 487 transgender people have been reported murdered. The TMM 2010 report broke down the murders in 19 countries. The majority happened in Brazil (91), Guatemala (15), Mexico (14), and the USA (14). (Source: Transgender Murder Monitoring Project. Regionally, the Belizean transgendered community has been continuously overlooked; they are invisible in the National Strategic Plan of 2006-2011. Funding received by the country for HIV/AIDS and outreach programs rarely reaches the transgender community because the system does not see the population as sufficiently large enough to make investments.The purpose of the research is to create a profile of transgender needs in the Belizean context; this report will feed into a larger effort for a region-wide advocacy plan that will be implemented by CRTA. The significance of the effort may lead to future planning around resource mobilization, capacity building and advocacy.
