    This report presents select findings from FRA’s 2019 survey on LGBTI people in the EU and North Macedonia and Serbia. With almost 140,000 participants, it is the largest survey of its kind. It follows the agency’s first survey on LGBT people in the EU, conducted in 2012. The new survey results show little progress over the past seven years.

    New strategic guidelines in the area of freedom, security and justice by the European Council placed increasing mutual trust, strengthening the protection of victims and reinforcing the rights of accused persons and suspects high on the EU policy agenda. Many EU Member States adopted new laws or reformed existing laws and policies in this area, while efforts continued at UN, Council of Europe and EU level to strengthen the rule of law, judicial independence and the efficiency of justice systems, as cornerstones of a democratic society.

    Les personnes trans, ou celles dont l’identité et/ou l’expression de genre diffère du sexe qui leur a été attribué à la naissance, sont souvent victimes de discrimination, de harcèlement et de violence dans l’Union européenne (UE) aujourd’hui. Cette réalité engendre des peurs qui peuvent pousser un grand nombre d’entre elles à cacher ou masquer leur vraie identité. Le présent rapport se penche sur l’égalité de traitement et sur la discrimination fondée sur deux motifs : l’orientation sexuelle et l’identité de genre.

    This paper examines the legal situation of intersex people from a fundamental rights perspective. It draws on evidence from the Agency’s updated legal analysis on homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, which now includes a section on intersex issues.
    Developments in equality and non-discrimination in 2014 were marked by the EU’s efforts to become more inclusive. Working actively to counter discrimination in all its forms and to foster equal treatment requires sustained efforts by all interested parties, so EU institutions worked closely with Member States and FRA to raise awareness on issues of discrimination, including on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, or to encourage recourse to redress mechanisms.

    Trans persons, or those whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex assigned them at birth, face frequent discrimination, harassment and violence across the European Union (EU) today. This reality triggers fears that persuade many to hide or disguise their true selves. This report examines issues of equal treatment and discrimination on two grounds, namely sexual orientation and gender identity. It analyses data on the experiences of 6,579 trans respondents from the EU Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) survey, the largest body of empirical evidence of its kind to date.

    In light of a lack of comparable data on the respect, protection and fulfilment of the fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons, FRA launched in 2012 its European Union (EU) online survey of LGBT persons’ experiences of discrimination, violence and harassment.

    L’Union européenne (UE) et ses États membres ont pris une série de mesures importantes en 2013 pour protéger et
    promouvoir les droits fondamentaux : endosser de nouveaux engagements internationaux, réorganiser la législation,
    poursuivre des politiques novatrices sur le terrain. Pourtant, les violations des droits fondamentaux ont fréquemment saisi
    les medias : les noyades de candidats à l’immigration au large des côtes de l’UE, une surveillance de masse sans précédent,
    des meurtres motivés par le racisme et l’extrémisme, la pauvreté des enfants et le dénuement des Roms.

    This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence (‘domestic violence’).

    La violence à l’égard des femmes est une violation des droits fondamentaux en matière de dignité, d’égalité et d’accès à la justice. Les résultats de l’enquête indiquent qu’une femme sur trois a subi au moins une forme de violence physique et/ou sexuelle depuis l’âge de 15 ans, une femme sur cinq a fait l’objet d’une traque furtive (« stalking »), et une femme sur deux a déjà été victime d’une ou de plusieurs formes de harcèlement sexuel.

    S'appuyant sur les éléments de preuve recueillis et analysés par la FRA, l’agence présente un ensemble d'avis visant à améliorer la protection contre la discrimination. Ceux-ci pourraient être pris en compte dans la mise en œuvre et l'éventuelle réforme du cadre juridique de l'UE sur la protection contre la discrimination.
