Syria: Rapes of trans women, gay men and even LGBT+ kids as young as 11
Reading now: 480
Syrian state authorities and other militias are raping gay men, boys, trans women and non-binary people. A new report highlights sickening levels of sexual violence against LGBT+ people in the country.
Victims report how officials have raped them with sticks pushed into their anus and up to their stomach. The torture they experienced has left them bleeding and traumatized.
Some of the boys who endured sexual attacks were as young as 11 years old. It’s a further example of the endemic violence LGBT+ people have faced in Syria.
Most famously, ISIS or Islamic State forces murdered gay men by throwing them from buildings. Baying mobs, including young children, then joined the killings by stoning them to death.

Sussex Survivors Network releases statement of support for trans community
In a recent statement sent to prime minister Boris Johnson, Sussex Survivors’ Network said it was ‘deeply concerned by the proposed rollback to safeguards for trans dignity and safety’.The government is reportedly proposing to ‘disregard the outcomes’ of the Gender Recognition Act consultation to protect women from predatory behaviour.The Network says that since the 2010 Equality Act it has had no reports of a survivor’s safety being compromised due to a trans woman accessing spaces such as public toilets and changing rooms.Founded in 1990, Survivors’ Network provides resources for those in Sussex who have experienced sexual violence.
