This paper calls on development agencies to make more funds available to support groups working for the protection of LGBTs against hate violence in the developing world. It cites a GALANG report about the link between sexuality and poverty.
Poverty and Sexuality: What are the connections? (2010)
This paper cites GALANG’s report about butch women in the Philippines who struggle to find employment. It argues that people with non-conforming sexualities may be excluded from social and economic participation, or included on adverse terms. People who do not fit gender stereotypes, including LGBT people may face family pressure, bullying in schools, discrimination by health services, rejection by employers, and stigma from the communities which they depend on.
