This is first global report of its kind on the criminalisation of trans and gender diverse people.
According to the study, the abuse reported by trans and gender diverse people includes blackmail, extortion, public humiliation, and physical and sexual violence. This occurs both in countries where there are laws that are used to criminalise trans and gender diverse people, and in countries without such criminalising provisions.
Transgender people most often identify state authorities, such as the police, as the main perpetrators of their discrimination.
