Asia: "A new regional report from the International Lesbian and Gay Human Rights Campaign pulls the veil off violence and oppression as experienced by women and transgender individuals in Asia, to reveal some surprising facts.

Titled "Through The Lens: Violence Against Lesbians, Bisexual Women and Trans People in Asia," the report uncovers ways in which these individuals, who in many ways exist as minorities within an already marginalized group of women, are further oppressed by the region's social, cultural, and political mores which regulate their existence further."

I'm very glad to see reports that are truly diving into issues and highlighting the intersectionality of oppression, as well as the levels of privilege. I think a lot of times people see things in solely black and white terms and forget that most everything exists on a spectrum.
