Study: Nearly two-thirds of LGBT+ in Czechia experience harassment

Sixty-three percent of LGBT+ people in Czechia experienced some form of harassment in 2023, according to a survey published on Tuesday by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. This was the highest level of such harassment, including threats of violence or offensive comments, seen in any EU country, the report’s authors said.

More than 50 percent of LGBT+ people in Czechia said they did not feel a strong need to conceal their sexual orientation or gender identity; however, 45 percent said they had kept it secret at school.
