LGBTQ+ people in Ukraine at greater risk: «in times of war and displacement LGBT+ people are even more vulnerable than in peacetime».

LGBTQ+ people of Ukraine, alongside their heterosexual compatriots, are facing countless challenges as the Russian invasion wages on. However, as the conflict intensifies, it’s clear that LGBTQ+ Ukrainians are suffering intersectional dimensions that are cause for enormous concern, womanandhome.com reports.

When most people consider how to help the people of Ukraine, it’s likely they think of the nation as a whole – as opposed to the many communities in the country itself. Sadly, marginalised communities, including the LGBTQ+ community, are facing far greater struggles, according to a report from the UN and the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatović.
