Never before as visible as today. In Peru, there are more than 1.7 million adults who recognize themselves as LGTBIQ+. However, day by day they face a world that judges and discriminates them for being and expressing how they feel. This research approach this phenomenon, not only to understand it, but also to change it. In three stages (exploration, ideation and co-creation) the population of Metropolitan Lima was segmented to design solutions with multidisciplinary experts and validate them with citizens in virtual communities.
Talking about one's sexuality, across cultures, has always been considered a private affair. This can be particularly true when one is LGBTQ, given that acceptance of LGBTQ persons is a relatively new phenomenon in most countries, and Mexico - a country with traditionally rigid gender and sexuality roles - is no exception. In recent years, however, Mexico has been progressive in its efforts to combat discrimination and hate crimes on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. A recent study by political scientist Caroline Beer concludes that Mexico is more progressive than the US when it comes to LGBTQ rights, especially in the recognition of same-sex relationships.

The world is currently facing the largest refugee crisis since World War II. At the same time, refugees have negative connotations, with the European publicâs propensity to help being on shaky ground. In this paper, we therefore investigate whether increasing public education of the refugee crisis by tackling the most prevalent barriers to support with targeted communication can positively influence a change in public attitudes and behaviours. In doing so, we seek to advise key stakeholders (governments, media and non-profitable organisations) on how to most effectively communicate to the European public about the refugee crisis, in order to increase positive perceptions and drive affirmative action.

Gender inequality is a global issue, and of particular concern in Cambodia, but by how much? And how are gender dynamics changing, if at all, among younger cohorts? This study investigates the current state of gender dynamics in Cambodia, especially topical given the country's current transformation from a low to middle income society. How will Cambodia progress as a nation when half its population is not empowered? There is a need to reshape traditional gender roles if Cambodia would like to harness the power and impact of its total population. The results offer both specific and broad implications for how Cambodia as a country can leverage the findings, as well as how other countries can apply the learnings, especially as it relates to the growing influence and power of the Internet.
Private companies and public institutions increasingly want research programs that focus on ethnic and religious minorities. Companies want to tailor their offer to specific target groups and institutions aim to combat discrimination although some politicians do not rule out so-called positive discrimination for minorities. Identifying people within a specific ethnic or religious group is not easy. We normally have three classifications: immigrants, ethnic minorities and religious minorities. These terms may be defined and interpreted differently depending on the language and country involved, which is why it is crucial for the research industry to agree on unambiguous and globally valid definitions. The work of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) could be helpful in this respect.
Like most European countries, Britain has attempted in recent years to attack discrimination against women, both by introducing penalties for discrimination, and by taking positive action to relieve disabilities which cause underachievement by women in society. The survey now reported was envisaged as a vehicle for providing such essential informations about the employment of women.
