10 LGBTQ-Phobia 2022 Report

LGBTQ-Phobia 2022 Report

Main Trends An analysis of the events registered at the reporting center by month exhibits two peak periods in 2022 in LGBTQ abuse reports: one around the June pride month events, a phenomenon we are familiar with from previous years. This year, however, we observed a peak also in November December, which accounts for 25% of all this year’s reports. The likely cause for this surge in reports was the LGBTQ-phobic discourse during the election campaigns and following the commencement of the new government. Later in the report, we will discuss the harmful impact of this issue, which has instigated violence against members of the LGBTQ community.
