Introduction
This report by Helem surveyed 250 members of Lebanon’s LGBTQIA+ community to assess the political, social, and economic obstacles they face. It highlights the systemic exclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals from political life, as well as the absence of legal protections in the context of Lebanon's ongoing crises. The survey reveals a strong desire for political candidates who support LGBTQIA+ rights, with 65% of respondents willing to back candidates who include these issues in their platforms. Helem calls for the adoption of inclusive policies to ensure equality and fairness for the LGBTQIA+ community.
