Safe spaces for LGBTIQ youth: understanding online gender-based violence
The UP4Diversity project aims to help prevent violence against the LGBTIQ community, in particular LGBTIQ youth. 'Violence' has many interpretations, and it is important to be clear about what we mean by it. For UP4Diversity, and for many of the partners, educators and youth workers it seeks to support, violence goes beyond physical attacks: it also includes online abuse, an issue that has only gained importance as the Covid-19 pandemic has moved most - if not all - of our social interactions online.

To combat all forms of violence against LGBTIQ youth, educational and youth organizations must be committed to its prevention and overcoming. Empowering youth and their educators to intervene in violence situations and implementing evidence-based actions is crucial for building a diverse and egalitarian society.
