Past research by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights had shown that compared to the EU average LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex) persons in these EU Member States appeared to face a greater risk of hate violence - physical or verbal assault or harassment due to their LGBTQI identity. The campaign involved a partnership of NGOs from each of the five countries, led by the Polish NGO Campaign Against Homophobia, and was financed by the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship programme of the European Commission. The study was prepared and conducted by the Center for Research on Prejudice at the University of Warsaw. The study consisted of two parts: (1) an online survey of a self-selected sample of 1818 LGBTQI respondents aged 18 years and above across the five countries combined who completed a survey questionnaire, and (2) semi-structured face-to-face interviews with fifty individuals who had experienced homophobic or transphobic violence or harassment in the preceding five years and had made a report to the police. Thirty of the interviews were conducted in Poland with the rest divided evenly between Croatia, Hungary, Latvia and Lithuania. The full reports of the study can be read on the Hate No More project website at: hatenomore.net/ This report is presented in two parts: PART 1: provides key findings about the prevalence, location, perpetrators, and the impact of homophobic and transphobic violence and harassment reported by the survey respondents to set the context for the discussion of the needs of those who experience such violence and harassment. PART 2: explains the needs of persons who experience homophobic and transphobic violence and harassment and provides key findings about the criminal justice system response to such violence and harassment across the five countries combined. An evaluation is provided of the extent to which victims' needs were satisfied. Based on the evaluation of the extent to which victims’ needs were addressed by the criminal justice system, the report highlights a number of failings of the police in responding to the needs of victims of homophobic and transphobic violence and harassment and indications of victims' dissatisfaction with the prosecution services and the courts - as evidenced by the Hate No More study. These failings present a potential deterrent to reporting incidents to the police and for those who do get involved with the criminal justice system there is a strong likelihood of secondary victimization.
