A report recently revealed an improvement in the adversities faced by black LGBTQIA+ youth. Despite advances, this group still faces many challenges due to prejudice based on race and sexual orientation.
The study concluded that the number of black LGBTQIA+ young people living on the streets has decreased, as has the number of those who have been arrested. The report also showed a drop in the number of suicides among this population. However, the study states that rates of depression and anxiety remain high among black LGBTQIA+ young people.
The results of the study were compiled through various surveys and studies conducted over the years. The researchers focused on analyzing the quality of life of young black LGBTQIA+ people, examining various aspects, such as mental and physical health, education and employment.
The report also calls for the implementation of more inclusive public policies. He suggests increasing support for organizations that focus on helping LGBTQIA+ youth of color and creating programs that help them deal with mental health issues.
