Hate Violence Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and HIV-affected Communities in the U.S. in 2011NCAVPRACIAL/ETHNIC IDENTITYWhiteLatino/aBlack/African-AmericanAsian/Pacific IslanderSelf-Identified/OtherMultiracialIndigenous/First PeopleArab/Middle Eastern3%3%Racial / Ethnic Identity of3%Survivors and Victims,2%20111%16%29%45%n=1558White survivors and victims represented the largest proportion of survivors and victims in 2011 (45%). This isconsistent with 2010 (45%). Latinos/as survivors and victims represented 29% of overall survivors and victims, thesecond highest group, which is a slight increase from 2010 (24%). Black and African American survivors andvictims represented the third highest group of survivors, making up 16% of total survivors, which is also consistentwith 2010 (16%). Asian and Pacific Islander, multiracial, and other self-identified survivors and victims each madeup 3% of the total survivors and victims. Indigenous and First People made up 2% of overall survivors and victims.Arab and Middle Eastern survivors and victims represented 1% of the total. These identities remained fairlyconsistent with the 2010, in which Asian/Pacific Islander survivors made up 4%, Indigenous/First People made up2% of survivors, Arab/Middle Eastern survivors made up 1%, self-indentified survivors made up 5% andmultiracial survivors made up 3% of total survivors and victims.Consistent with 2010, white survivors and victims are underrepresented within NCAVP’s reports. White peoplemade up 72% of the general population within the United States in 2011, but they made up only 45% of NCAVP’ssurvivors and victims. 9 Latinos/as are also overrepresented within NCAVP’s reports, representing 16% of peoplein the U.S. and making up 29% of NCAVP’s reports. Black and African American people are slightlyoverrepresented within NCAVP’s reports, representing approximately 13% of the general population but making up16% of reports. To some degree, these figures may reflect a higher percentage of people of color living in regionscovered in this report. This report contains data from states known for high Latino/a populations such as: Arizona,California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, and Texas. This may result in a higher proportion of Latinos/as thanwhites among NCAVP’s data set. Many programs also reside in regions with high populations of Black and AfricanAmerican people. These figures also reflect that LGBTQH people of color are at higher risk for violence,something that NCAVP’s 2011 and 2010 murder statistics also highlight. Finally, these numbers could alsodemonstrate NCAVP’s member program’s dedicated outreach efforts within communities of color.AGE9 U.S. Census Bureau. ―State & county Quickfacts: Data derived from Population Estimates, American Community Survey‖ (2012, January 12).Accessed from: http://quickfacts.census.gov on May 25, 2012.24
Hate Violence Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and HIV-affected Communities in the U.S. in 2011NCAVP33%22%18%Age of Survivorsand Victims,201115%1%7%4%0% 0%14 orunder15-18 19-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80 andovern=1462Ages 19-29 represented a third (33%) of total hate violence survivors and victims in 2011. This is the largest agegroup increase from 2010 (25% in 2010) to 2011. Ages 30-39 represented 22% of reports, consistent with 24% in2010. Ages 40-49 made up 18% of reports, which is a slight increase from 22% in 2010. People ages 50-59,represented 15% of reports in 2011 which is consistent with 14% in 2010. Ages 60 and above continue to be theleast represented age group (4%) and remained fairly consistent with 2010 (5%). The prevalence of reports fromyoung people may result from several factors. Many of NCAVP’s member groups have programming and outreachdirectly targeted to young people such as the Branching Seedz of Resistance youth organizing project of theColorado Anti-Violence Program and the KC LOVE project of the Kansas City Anti-Violence Project.25
