Breakdown of reported lesbophobic assaults in France 2019-2023, by type
At the heart of the difficulties in observing violence against women, lesbians, and bi-women are often difficult to understand as a specific group in existing victimization surveys. This weakness is known and identified, and surveys have been carried out, notably by the association SOS Homophobie, which, in addition to its annual reports on LGBTphobia, has been able to focus on lesbophobia. The latest report shows that rejection (65 percent), insults (42 percent), threats (20 percent), and harassment (17 percent) were the most common manifestations in France in 2023.
