National analysis on violence against LGBTI+ children: Poland

Abstract

National analysis of violence against LGBTI + children in Poland. As with all countries participating in the project, the research design assumed three information sources: an online survey, interviews with stakeholders and workshops with LGBT+ youth. The workshops were to take place in April 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the Polish government began to implement social distancing procedures in order to restrict the infection rate. Among other, meetings of more than two people were temporarily banned. In these circumstances the workshops were cancelled and the remaining interviews were carried out online over Skype (with voice and video transmission) in order to maintain social distancing procedures
