| USA: Scholars submit public comment to the United Nations Independent Expert on SOGI for an upcoming report on violence and discrimination experienced by LBQ women worldwide |
| In December 2025, the UN Independent Expert on SOGI requested input for an upcoming report on violence and discrimination experienced by LBQ women worldwide. In response, scholars from the Williams Institute submitted a public comment providing social science research on the experiences of violence and discrimination among LBQ women and girls in the U.S. In addition, they discuss how systemic factors, such as disparities in economic security, interactions with law enforcement, and intersecting racial and ethnic identities, increase vulnerability to violence and discrimination among sexual minority women. |
