"In China, LGBTQ+ activists and groups are consistently targeted by authorities
and tech platforms. This is done digitally through computer algorithms, and
physically by law enforcement and state security personnel trying to constrain
their work.

For these people, living under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and government
means being severely limited in any activities their organisations undertake.

For our latest research, we spoke with 26 LGBTQ+ activists from 12 different
provinces in China, to investigate what life is like on the ground for them.

The Chinese government claims LGBTQ+ people do not face discrimination in their
country – but our research shows this isn’t true."
