| Summary: | The primary objective of this
research was to provide Serbian policy makers, civil
society, and development partners with evidence of the
socioeconomic status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
and intersex (LGBTI) people in Serbia. The findings of the
report, which were derived from a survey of LGBTI people,
help to address the significant quantitative data gap on the
lives of LGBTI people in Serbia and seek to inform policies
and programs to address LGBTI exclusion. The survey was
designed to collect and document evidence of the
socioeconomic status of LGBTI people in Serbia rather than
to explore policy or programming responses. However, the
findings revealed that, going forward, certain areas warrant
further investigation and greater attention from a
policymaking perspective. These include: expanding the LGBTI
evidence base; increasing LGBTI diversity in public sector
employment; improving trust in government and institutions;
and bolstering awareness and capacity to effectively address
transgender issues. In addition to the above, the objective
of the research was to test a survey methodology that
addresses the persistent challenge of generating data that
allow robust comparisons between the lives of LGBTI people
and the general population. Such comparative data provide
more valuable evidence about the unique challenges faced by
LGBTI people by framing these challenges within the context
of the experiences of the general population. The
methodology and statistical analysis used here also offer a
technique for other researchers interested in understanding
the experience of LGBTI people compared to the population at
large. The report presents the results of the survey and,
where appropriate, attempts to contextualize the findings.
However, where there is insufficient data and information to
analyze and provide this contextualization, the report
simply presents the results of the survey and does not
attempt to explain the differences observed. Going forward,
it would be beneficial to collect more data that allow
in-depth analyses of the differences observed between LGBTI
people and the general population. |
