Spain: lesbians suffer disproportionate discrimination and harassment

The State Federation of LGBT+ (Felgtbi+) reported that Spanish lesbians continue to suffer discrimination, with one in three lesbians experiencing harassment between 2020 and 2024, and one in 10 experiencing physical or sexual assault.
