Almost 50% of LGBT+ post-primary school students in Ireland experience homophobic, biphobic, or transphobic bullying, according to the charity Belong To.

The charity is this week launching its 15th annual ‘Stand Up’ awareness week to promote the inclusion of LGBT+ students in schools across the country.
