| Summary: | Discrimination against lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people is
widespread and LGBTI exclusion from economic markets, vital
services and political spaces is entrenched. This is not
just a personal problem, it is a development challenge; not
only because discrimination is inherently unjust, but also
because "there are substantial costs—social, political,
and economic—to not addressing the exclusion of entire
groups of people." Understanding the barriers LGBTI
people face in accessing markets, services, and spaces is
important for designing more inclusive policies and programs. |
