Violence perpetrated against LGBT people with impunity is an endemic problem across the globe and includes murder, assault, rape, and threats. Human Rights Watch has documented violence perpetrated against lesbians and transgender men in South Africa and the failure of the criminal justice system to deal effectively with these crimes. In Kyrgyzstan, Human Rights Watch documented routine violence that state officials have meted out with impunity against gay men. In Russia, Human Rights Watch has shown how the insidious anti-propaganda law has led to a sharp increase in violent attacks on LGBT people and a lack of police action against the perpetrators.
