Berlin is the only federal state in Germany so far that runs a “Monitoring Report on Anti-Queer Violence in Berlin” as an instrument to combat hate violence against lesbian, gay, bi+, trans*, intersex and queer people (LGBTIQ+). The “Monitoring Report on Anti-Queer Violence in Berlin” has been published every two years since 2020. Besides analysing police reporting statistics, a multi-method study is conducted for the report on different main topics:
2020 monitoring report with main topic on ‘anti-lesbian hostility and violence’
2022 monitoring report with main topic on ‘transphobia’
2024 monitoring report with main topic on ‘anti-bi+ hostility and violence’
The next monitoring report will be published in 2026 focussing on queerphobia in public spaces.
