“The research report aims not only to highlight the processes of violence and discrimination in the lives of LBTQ persons but also to envisage ways in which these conditions of social injustice may be transformed. To this end, our report will benefit community organizations, NGOs and policy makers who strive to bring positive changes in LBTQ lives. Equally important, this research (India) aims to sensitize the wider public and to facilitate their understanding of what makes life liveable for LBTQ people, so as to make a positive difference in everyday interactional situations.”
