Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Asexual, Intersex Et Al. (LGBTQAI+) Health Access Disparities in Female-Identified Clients

Abstract

Though they recently received legal legitimacy, the LGBTQAI+ community faces discrimination through deeply entrenched heterosexist social systems, which amplify inequities for women and gender minorities. Social workers must advocate for expansive policy interventions to promote economic andhealth equity for female-identi ed members of the LGBTQAI+ community.Practical policy interventions for the promotion of health equity include provider training programs, anti-discrimination protections, the collection of comprehensive demographic data, and youth education curricula.
