Pervasive myths about sexual orientation and gender identity in Vietnam contribute to violence and discrimination which is felt strongly among LGBT youth and create barriers to education.
Many students experience verbal harassment and bullying, which in some cases leads to physical violence. Teachers are often untrained and ill-equipped to handle cases of anti-LGBT discrimination, and their lessons frequently uphold the widespread myth in Vietnam that same-sex attraction is a disease.
A school counselor told Human Rights Watch, “There’s a lot of pressure on kids to be straight. It’s constantly referenced that being attracted to someone of the same sex is something that can and should be changed and fixed.”
The London Human Rights Watch Film Festival will be presented from 12 to 20 March 2020, featuring empowering documentaries and dramas celebrating courageous people from 14 countries. Tickets are on sale now.
