Description

Anti-LGBTIQ+ and anti-feminisms mobilisations are an increasing part of the Irish landscape. Using a representative quantitative survey, run in August 2024 and repeated in May 2025, this research found that:

  • A majority supports the addressing of gender-based violence, and supports LGBTIQ+ rights and abortion. 

  • However, there is recognition, and experiences, of increased targeting and discrimination against women and LGBTIQ+ people, especially trans people.

  • Experiences of targeting and discrimination differ depending on whether you are LGBTQIA+, a woman and/or supportive of abortion rights, however social division negatively affects all sides of the spectrum of political views on sexualities and genders.
