About
Exploring the lived experiences of LGBTI individuals across Europe, these aggregated records offer a window into the discrimination faced by various marginalised groups. Collected by the European Union Fundamental Rights Agency in 2020, the data represents an extensive survey detailing how lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex people navigate daily life and institutional barriers. By quantifying responses to specific questions on safety, rights, and harassment, the collection provides a vital empirical foundation for identifying systemic inequalities and advocating for social change across the continent.

This resource is ideal for academic research into human rights and the sociological study of discrimination patterns within the European Union. Analysts can use the records to create detailed visualisations or data stories that highlight the disparities in treatment between different subgroups. It also serves as a critical tool for policy-making bodies and non-governmental organisations to develop targeted intervention strategies and legal protections for vulnerable communities.
Coverage
The geographic scope includes 31 unique European countries. Temporally, the records reflect the findings of the 2020 survey cycle. The demographic focus is centred on individuals identifying as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, or Intersex, with further granular data available for specific identities such as non-binary persons. Data flags are included for smaller respondent groups (20-49 people), while samples smaller than 20 have been excluded to ensure statistical reliability.
