Data and information are needed to programme and implement an inclusive response that reflects and addresses the needs of all groups and ensures access modalities tailored to all people in need, including persons with diverse SOGIESC.

There is a recognised lack of data and information about persons with diverse SOGIESC, and often specific needs, risks and barriers faced by persons with diverse SOGIESC are overlooked in designing and implementing a response, leaving some individuals exposed to additional risks and personnel confused about how to respond appropriately in an inclusive manner.

In this detailed guidance you will find:

  1. common types of data you need for an inclusive response,
  2. What methods and sources to use to collect the necessary data, and
  3. How to avoid doing harm while collecting, storing, analysing, sharing and using data and information on persons with diverse SOGIESC.
