Abstract

This report is located in the twin contexts of the global movement for recognition of sexuality minority rights and the increasing assertiveness of sexuality minority voices at the local level. It examines the human rights violations suffered by sexuality minorities in India (with specific reference to Bangalore) under two broad heads, namely the state and society, as two sites from which violence against sexuality minorities is perpetrated. The report documents issues of further marginalization among sexuality minorities, namely the position of lesbians, bisexuals and sexuality minorities from low income/non English-speaking backgrounds and hijras and puts forward a number of recommendations for the better protection of human rights among sexuality minorities.
