Brief on Hate-Motivated Violence Against 2SLGBTQI+ Communities

Hate-motivated violence is one manifestation of a broader system of oppression that limits the ability of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals to live in dignity and safety. In considering the full context of hate-motivated violence, the committee should pay attention to the ways in which legislation can further the oppression of 2SLGBTQI+ individuals in a systemic way, as well as the federal government’s role in mitigating the economic impacts of hate-motivated violence.
