- Description
- This report documents how while men and boys, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, .are targets of sexual violence in the Syrian conflict, gay and bisexual men and transgender women said they were subjected to increased and intensified violence based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. This violence takes place in various settings, including Syrian detention centers, checkpoints, prisons, and within the ranks of the Syrian army. In Lebanon, survivors found limited services and inadequate support from humanitarian organizations—often due to lack of funding and .personnel trained to respond their needs.
