Making the Invisible Visible: An analysis of older lesbians lived experiences

In the face of the very limited data available on lesbians, EL*C had to take action. EL*C is not a research institute, and yet over the past 2 years we have collected and analyzed data on many aspects of lesbian lives and realities in Europe on topics such as discrimination in healthcare, lesbophobia, the impact of COVID, LBTI women in sports, and the state of lesbian organizing in Europe.

Mapping LGBTQI+ Activism in Central Asia & the South Caucasus

LGBTQI+ communities in both regions face significant hurdles due to social, economic, and political factors. Limited access to healthcare, high unemployment rates, corrupt state institutions, safety risks, smear campaigns against activists, and the rise of alt-right ideologies were identified as prevalent challenges.

Observatory of Lesbophobia 2019 - 2022

The need for an Observatory on Lesbophobia arose from EL*C work and collaboration with its members, that have shared with us cases of lesbophobia, the need for awareness raising and for coordinated actions at European level. Lesbophobia is also often misunderstood in policy making concerning hate crime, hate speech and gender-based violence and not nominated because considered to be the same as homophobia.
