Responding to violence against women based on their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions – an annotated bibliography of resources

All women and girls face oppression, discrimination and marginalization based on gender inequality, but not all women and girls experience oppression and inequality in a homogeneous way. Oppression may be compounded by their sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity. Despite there being a broad understanding that women and girls with diverse SOGIEs are at heightened risk of violence due to multiple and intersecting factors, there is limited evidence and documented practice of responses to this violence.  This learning brief assembles resources regarding response that originate from a wide pool of actors including UN agencies, INGOs, World Bank and other Non-humanitarian sources.
