Thilaga: Banyak kajian telah dijalankan dan mendapati kesan conversion therapy atau paksaan untuk mengubah gender atau orientasi seksual terhadap seseorang sama seperti penyeksaan (torture).

Happening now: Owning our voices and Narratives at BAC PJ campus @justice_sisters @krYss_net @yeeshan_13 #womensmarchmy

Yes Shan bangkitkan point penting: A lot of organising/resources are focused in KL. Kalau ada LGBT perlukan bantuan, chances are komunikasi akan balik ke KL. Amat perlu bagi komuniti luar KL untuk organise/tingkatkan kapasiti supaya dapat support secara lokal.

‘The attackers are reproducing and echoing the government’s position on liberalism, pluralism and LGBT, and are doing so in ways that are violent and threatening to the safety of everyday members of the public.’

@WanitaBebas_ SOGIE minorities are among the first victims in cases of genocide and the among the last to receive assistance and resources, if at all, during emergencies. https://t.co/IDDY5WXlpU #WomensMarchMY #WanitaBangkit

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

Budaya rogol ni juga disebabkan oleh media yang selalu mengambarkan mak nyah sebagai objek seks dan minoriti SOGIE lain sbg gila seks, sampai Seksualiti Merdeka dijenamakan semula sebagai Pesta Seks Bebas oleh media dan pihak berkuasa. #WomensMarchMY #WanitaBangkit

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

Suasana yg x mendengar & memahami pengalaman individu lgbt & memaksa seseorang utk berubah/balik ke pangkal jalan sbnrnya tingkatkan risiko keganasan termasuklah keganasan seksual. Cubaan utk mengubah identiti seseorang ialah satu bentuk penyeksaan. #WomensMarchMY #WanitaBangkit

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

Corrective assault does not just cover rape. In physical and online spaces, lesbian, bisexual and queer women, pengkids and trans men are catcalled, told that they need a penis in them to become "normal". #womensmarchmy #wanitabangkit

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

This hellbent on correction environment is also harmful for those perceived to be a SOGIE minority. We sadly remember Nhaveen, who was perceived as effeminate by his peers, causing them to rape & kill him. #Womensmarchmy #wanitabangkit

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

@hrw Unfortunately, many also think that the assault is ultimately their fault for "being like this", thanks to the rape culture and patriarchy that is entrenched in our culture. #womensmarchmy #WanitaBangkit

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

@hrw Sexual violence against SOGIE minorities generally go unreported because:
1. Having to out themselves to authorities/med professionals
2. Fear of being belittled or blamed for the assault
3. Fear of reprisals from the authorities
4. Dysphoria

#wanitabangkit #WomensMarchMY

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

Cases of sexual violence against LGBT people are underreported. A report by @hrw includes a case of a trans man who decided not to seek medical assistance after being raped because he didnt want to explain his parts. #WOMENSMARCHMY #WanitaBangkit https://t.co/2XTXToatTZ

[justiceforsisters @justice_sisters]

It doesn't help that authorities are pushing the message that LGBT people should be corrected, increasing the risks of corrective rape and other forms of correction like conversion therapy, which is considered a form of torture by the UNCAT. https://t.co/I8yWy975gp #womensmarchmy
