“…52 Research involving MSM from 48 countries (mostly in Europe) reported that those who migrated from a country with highly stigmatising laws to countries in which MSM were less stigmatised had a significantly lower risk of depression, suicidality, internalised stigma, and social isolation after migration. 53 Studies in the USA and Canada have used intersectionality framework to analyse the role of compounding stigmas on health inequities among Black and Latino MSM, who have disproportionately higher HIV risk than White MSM. 54 Anti-MSM stigmas have been characterised in many parts of Asia, where there is increasing research that describes associations between minority stress, HIV, and mental health.…”

“…However, peculiarities of IPV among sexual minority people emerged as well. Specifically, as highlighted in the minority stress model proposed by Meyer (1995Meyer ( , 2003, sexual minority people suffer particular adverse conditions (i.e., experiences of discrimination, perceived stigma, internalized homonegativity, and sexual identity concealment) that affect their individual and relational wellbeing (e.g., Hughes et al, 2022;Pachankis et al, 2021;Pachankis et al, 2018), and which seem to increase the risk to suffer or perpetrate IPV (Edwards et al, 2015;Rollè et al, 2018).…”

Introduction Intimate partner violence (IPV) among sexual minority people has been underestimated since few decades ago despite its spreading. The current systematic review aims to review and systematize studies on factors associated with IPV perpetration within this population. Methods Data search was conducted on EBSCO and PubMed considering articles published until July 2022, and 78 papers were included. Results Although methodological limitations can affect the results found, the data demonstrated an association between IPV perpetration and psychological, relational, family of origin-related and sexual minority-specific factors, substance use, and sexual behaviors. Conclusion The findings emerged highlight the importance of a multidimensional approach to tackle IPV perpetration among sexual minority people and limit relapses, while increasing individual and relational wellbeing. Policy Implications The empirical evidence emerged can contribute to the development of policies and services tailored for sexual minority people victims of IPV, to date still scarce and often ineffective.

Individuals of sexual and gender minority (SGM) form a vulnerable group with specific healthcare needs that might be prone to experience discrimination and restrictions regarding their access to healthcare. As the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) offer a normative perspective on these issues, we analyzed them systematically (1) to identify whether and in what manner ECtHR’s judgments concern restriction of access to healthcare for SGM individuals and (2) to identify and categorize the ways of discrimination to which SGM individuals are exposed. We conducted a systematic search of the database of the ECtHR’s judgments with the use of specified search terms. Descriptive statistics were performed on the identified judgments. Subsequently, we analyzed the judgments with the use of a qualitative method of thematic analysis. We identified n = 73 cases relevant for our study. In n = 7 (9.59%) of judgments, we found limitations of access to healthcare for SGM individuals, e.g., in cases of restrictions for transsexual individuals to receive hormone or surgical therapy. We regard this as a specific form of discrimination. Furthermore, we identified five other categories of discrimination: restriction of parental rights, failure to respect one’s gender identity/sexual orientation, discrimination by jurisdiction, prohibition of promotion, and verbal/physical attacks. The ECtHR proves to have a balanced view on the sensitive topic of sexual self-determination condemning any form of discrimination or restriction of access to healthcare. However, there is a need for further research on discriminatory acts by other individuals, e.g., healthcare providers, rather than by public authorities.
