Focusing on who is perpetrating violence, from states\/nations, to known others such as family and friends, to complete strangers, we examine how these experiences impact the individuals and shape community perceptions of safety and well-being. First-hand accounts are woven throughout that personalize those experiences of violence, but that also illustrate resistance and response to violence in ways that are personal, political, and cultural.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoverage will range from nations with more advanced attention on LGBTQ+ human rights (e.g., the US, South Africa, Sweden, Argentina, and Australia), as well as those that are still emerging in their implementation of rights and protections (e.g., Georgia, Bulgaria, Namibia) to those that still actively resist human rights efforts on behalf of LGBTQ+ people (e.g., Iran, Mauritania, Somalia, Indonesia). Readers will be able to understand violence against LGBTQ+ people as something with shared characteristics across the world, but also that is specific and grounded in local contexts and that are unique individual experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRebecca Stotzer,\u003c\/b\u003e MS, MSW, PhD, is Professor of Social Work at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa Thompson School of Social Work and Public Health, United States.
