ABSTRACT
This survey report describes and reflects how persons with disabilities, LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) persons, and LGBT persons with disabilities are being discriminated against in sectors of education, employment, accessibility, and social inclusion in Myanmar. The survey was conducted in three regions (Yangon, Mandalay, and Magway) in Myanmar and was supported by 80 respondents. It can be seen from the survey that the LGBT persons with disabilities are being discriminated against more than persons with disabilities and LGBT persons. There are recommendations given by respondents of the survey with the aim of eliminating discrimination and promoting inclusion. There are rarely intersection activities and cooperation between the disabled persons’ organizations and the LGBT organizations, therefore this study calls for more cooperation and mutual understanding between the disabled persons’ organizations and the LGBT organizations. This study also suggests that Myanmar raise the awareness of the rights of the minorities and empower them in the society based on human rights.
