Percentage of people reporting that they have been victims of discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Definition:
Ratio between (i) numerator: people reporting that they have been victims of discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity in the previous 12 months; and (ii) denominator: total population. The indicator is expressed per 100 people.
Notes:
Considering that there may be difficulties in measuring whether the child population (under 10 years of age, for example) has been discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity, it is recommended to present the indicator by age group, excluding children under 10 years.
The metadata developed for SDG indicator 16b.1 should serve as a guideline for this indicator, despite having a broader scope.
