In 2020/2021, sexual orientation Hate Crimes went from 15,972 to 17,135, while transgender identity Hate Crimes went from 2,542 to 2,630But we know that LGBTQI+ Hate Crimes are highly under-reported and thousands more who are the victims of attack, abuse and harassment do not come forward.

Hate against sexual orientation and gender identity remain the third most reported motivation for Hate incidents and crimes

Acceptance and freedom for the LGBTQI+ community has progressed over the years, but Hate incidents and crimes towards the community remain frequent. 

This Pride month, we saw a shocking number of homophobic and transphobic attacks in Liverpool and across other UK cities. This showcases the continued need for our vital reporting services and advocacy support to be there for people affected by LGBTQI+ Hate incidents and crimes.

No one should have to suffer from hate crime, and no one should have to suffer alone.
