Amid the COVID -19 pandemic, Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual+ (LGBTI+) people have been facing increasing stigmatisation, discrimination and violence as people are in lockdown with homoantagonistic families and communities. Over the last month, #AllBlackLivesMatter movements have erupted in the United States of America (USA), highlighting violence that pertains particularly to the LGBT+ community.
Fueled by the deaths of Riah Milton and Dominique Fells, activists demand justice for the femicide of Transwomen, and the ongoing violence on LGBT+ people across the spectrum.
Expanding the perception of what pertains to GBV is integral as we begin to dismantle the culture of violence from its root.
