Facing homophobic violence is a priority across Europe and youth and professionals working with them play an essential role in this social transformation. In order to combat all forms of violence against LGBTIQ youth, educational and youth organizations must be committed to its prevention and overcoming. Empowering youth to intervene in violence situations and implementing evidence-based actions is crucial to build a diverse and egalitarian society.
