European and Central Asian survey on the impact of Covid-19 on lesbians

Trapped in dangerous situations

From the little information available so far, it was observed that lesbians have been trapped in potentially dangerous situations due to the crisis. Young lesbians were obliged to quarantine with their lesbo-phobic families. Older lesbians cannot go out, do not have family to rely on, and can only get food and medication from the local lesbian community. Lesbians are being fired because their families are not recognized as equal to heterosexual ones, or not recognized at all.

Survey in eight languages for both groups and individuals

EL*C welcomes responses by lesbians on a wide gender identity spectrum (trans, cis, non binary). The goal of the survey is develop recommendations for policy makers and donors to take into account in the current crisis management schemes.
