Factors associated with Peruvian LGBTI people’s knowledge of organizations that defend their human rights
ABSTRACT
Background: We aimed
determine the frequency of Peruvian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and
Intersex (LGBTI) people who don’t know organizations that defend their
rights and the factors associated with the probability of knowing
them.
Methods: We conducted a
secondary analysis of the virtual survey for LGBTI people in 2017. The
outcome was the lack of knowledge of organizations that defend the rights of
LGBTI people. The independent variables were sociodemographic, medical
history and sexual characteristics. We calculated crude and adjusted
prevalence ratios using generalized linear models. Findings: We analyzed 9741 responses. The frequency of lack knowledge
organizations that defend the rights of LGBTI people was 66.9%. The age,
being afraid to express their sexual orientation and/or gender identity,
having a family member know what an LGBTI person is, health insurance,
history of anxiety and/or depression and qualifying as regular progress in
the recognition of the human rights of LGBTI people were associated with a
higher probability of knowing organizations that defend the rights of LGBTI
people. Conclusion: A large
percent of your population might be experiencing human rights violations and
are not aware that there are services, organizations, and supportive groups
available to protect them.
