The problem of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity is especially acute in Tajikistan. LGBTI+ people endure homophobia and violation of their rights on a regular basis and are frequent victims of violence, blackmail, and extortion. Law enforcement officers fail to respond to crimes against LGBTI+ people and frequently commit these crimes themselves.<\/p>\n
Some members of the LGBTI+ community endure specific forms of multiple discrimination, which makes them feel even more vulnerable:<\/p>\n
– The situation of LB women is complicated by patriarchal traditions: their lives and liberty are controlled by relatives.<\/p>\n
– Transgender people are exposed to heightened risk because of their appearance and the fact that their documents may not match their appearance.<\/p>\n
– The stigmatization of people living with HIV forces LGBTI+ people to live a closed life and increases the risk of infection.<\/p>\n
– Governments complicate the registration and work of NGOs that provide assistance for members of the community.<\/p>\n
Despite numerous problems and difficulties, human rights defenders and activists are able to support LGBTI+ people by holding events to protect their rights, attending trials against homophobes, and attempting to conduct a dialogue with government representatives where possible. Sensing this support, members of the community have found the courage to stand up for their rights.<\/p>\n
