Violence And Impact On The Lgbt Community

Violence and impact on the LGBT community

When talking about gender violence in most cases, there is a reference to women, overlooking that it is a problem that affects both children, adults, men and all kinds of person, for that reason it is necessary to know more Thoroughly the damages and prejudices that it has caused, being a living and clear example of the LGBTI population that in a dejected case is currently considering a taboo subject, a topic that is overlooked by falling into the inaccuracy and ignorance

LGBT are the acronym that identify the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender words. To get to know and identify themselves as such in the 1950s it was not easy, starting because people still did not accept that there are other types of people different from the common, that is why they called them third sex and later they called them third sex and later homosexuals excluding them in a derogatory and non -integrative way holding customs, causing the well -known gender violence

It is not enough with the suffering and exclusion based in its beginnings, in a bar in New York United States, there was an event that marked history and promoted the movements of sexual diversity. Non -heterosexual people were hard criticized, their actions were considered illegal, they were excluded in various social groups and also suffered police abuse, causing physical and psychological violence that is mainly the end of gender -based violence

This same has generated a great problem in the community, since young people are isolated by prohibiting them from being.

Preventing them from living their sexuality, they suffer abandonment that leads them to extreme anxiety and depression that derives in other health problems, thus giving heartbreaking and disconcerting figures of deaths, suicides, pain, sexual abuse, psychological damage, traumas, violation of rights. All under a scary and cold name gender violence. Here are some figures:

According to a study by the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) of CDMX, 62 % of homosexual adolescents have ever had suicidal ideas, against 45.9 % of heterosexuals. Meanwhile, 31.5 % of the population of the population have tried to commit suicide, against 15.6 % of heterosexuals. In countries like the United Kingdom, 43 % of homosexuals have shown some mental disorder and 31 % have tried to commit suicide. Affecting the work, social, family and school.

As a personal opinion about the subject, it seems very worrying and very tragic at the same time to look at the figures of deaths presented and detailed in Ecuador, since according to the Silhouette Association it is recorded that in 2019 about 16 cases of violent death being so being of the 16, four ‘belong to the legal category (gays) and 12 by gender identity (trans women)’ ‘. ‘Only at this point Trans women represent 75% of murder, violent or unclear and suspicious crime deaths’

It hurts to look at cases like Sergio Urrego’s, committed suicide in 2014 by no longer supporting his rejection of his classmates and managers at his school. Zamudio was a 24 -year -old. He died in 2012 after agonizing for 25 days after a fierce beating that led to a group of 4 aggressors for being homosexual. Just as these cases there are more endless, they are issues that should be taken with the maturity necessary to eliminate root is so cruel gender violence.
