Luxembourg LGBTIQ+ Panel

Study on the situation, experiences, and aspirations of LGBTIQ+ people in Luxembourg and the border region

Initiative phase: Early beginnings

The Luxembourg LGBTIQ+ Panel is a study on the situation, experiences, and aspirations of LGBTIQ+ people in Luxembourg and the border region. This project was created by the Laboratoire d'Études Queer, sur le Genre et les Féminismes - LEQGF Asbl and provides platforms where queer community members can think, discuss, and share experiences and ideas on being queer in Luxembourg and the border region. Through a series of group interviews, the study aims to understand the challenges faced by members of the LGBTIQ+ community, but also what queer people aspire to in order to live 'well' in Luxembourg.

Based on these focus groups, we develop recommendations with the aim to inform policies and actions designed to improve the lives of LGBTIQ+ people. Usually, a panel brings together a group of experts to discuss relevant topics of public interest. For our panel, the expertise comes from the everyday experiences of LGBTIQ+ people. With our partners (local authorities, associations), we are organising various focus groups that reflect the multiple and intersectional realities of LGBTIQ+ people (young people, education, health, work, discrimination, etc.).
