Abstract

Research into the lives of sexually and gender diverse (SGD) people is expanding globally. As visibility increases and social contexts shift, new opportunities are emerging in SGD research, policy, and practice. Yet the lives of SGD people remain largely invisible and insufficiently represented despite progress in civil rights protections across many countries. Health, social and economic disparities as well as community strengths remain significant worldwide, and inequities by sexuality, gender and age are well documented (Fredriksen, 2026; Fredriksen-Goldsen & de Vries, 2019). At the same time, in many regions, SGD communities face renewed backlash, censoring, and erasure. The lack of attention to sexuality, gender and age diversity, combined with escalating threats, constitutes a call to action for culturally grounded research, services and policies.
