When Zuzana Huszár, 29, returned home one evening in June 2024, after a long day of work at a queer safe space in Prague, Czech Republic, she found her partner agitated. Her partner, Tereza Misha, told her that she had been “shamed” on the streets and received “hateful comments” on her way back from work due to her queer appearance. Misha, 27, is one among the many from the LGBTI community who have experienced hate-motivated violence, including verbal, physical, and sexual attacks, which has increased from 11 percent in 2019 to 14 percent in 2023, according to the report published by the EU fundamental rights agency earlier this year.
