LGBTI people in the Nordic region who belong to multiple minorities are in a particularly vulnerable position. These are groups that are exposed to multiple forms of discrimination and marginalisation based on, for example, racism, homophobia and ableism. Studies show that LGBTI people with non-normative functional abilities or a foreign background report higher levels of bullying, violence, threats and hate crime than other LGBTI people.

Several projects funded by the Nordic Gender Equality Fund and the Nordic LGBTI Fund focus on issues affecting LGBTI people who belong to multiple minorities. This publication provides an insight into the Nordic cooperation projects – the problems and challenges they have identified, how they have addressed them and the concrete results they have achieved.

The publication aims to highlight the living conditions of LGBTI people who belong to multiple minorities and to disseminate knowledge and experiences from the projects so that they become more sustainable, benefit more people and inspire others to engage in Nordic cooperation.
