Living conditions for LGBTI people are influenced not only by societal norms surrounding sexual orientation or gender identity but also by other social norms such as those pertaining to gender, ethnicity, skin colour, religious affiliation and socio-economic status. Little is known about the role of these factors, and marginalised subgroups among sexual minorities are often overlooked. A number of projects funded by the Nordic Gender Equality Fund and the Nordic LGBTI Fund aim to change this, focusing on issues that specifically affect LGBTI people who belong to multiple minority groups.  

 This publication provides an insight into these Nordic co-operation projects: the problems and challenges the projects have identified, how they have been addressed and the concrete results that have been achieved. In interviews, project participants reflect on the benefits of Nordic co-operation and what is needed to improve conditions for LGBTI people who belong to multiple minority groups.
