Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 58
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The rights and needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons are violated worldwide, with many prison systems subjecting them to increased discrimination and not affording them equal standards of health care and protection from sexual violence, humiliation, intolerance and abuse. Studies have consistently shown that those with a non-heterosexual orientation, or whose gender expression does not fall into exact categories of female and male, are vulnerable to targeted abuse both by staff and by other prisoners. In many prison systems complaints by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex prisoners about sexual abuse and rape are less likely to receive a response from prison administrations, leading to impunity and continued abuse.
