MOLDOvA GENDERDOC-M registered 4 transphobic hate-motivated incidents in 2016, being 3 physical and 1 sexual assault. Offenders were gangs and private individuals and, in one case, the neighbour of the attacked trans person. A 17-year-old trans woman was sexually assaulted by a male neighbour. In order to avoid his abusive behaviour, she came out to him as trans. She then learned from other neighbours that the man had promised to “take revenge on her.” Due to the possible repetition of attacks, she had to change residence. RUSSIA In the Siberia region, most of the cases documented by LAVERNA occurred between a victim and a not-previously-known perpetrator. Additionally, another pattern is that the attackers tend to be more than one person, in groups of over two. 4 of the 13 cases were sexual assault, and 2 of those victims/survivors were sex workers. In one case, the victim was told to stop spreading (homosexual/trans) propaganda. 3 of the cases also included threat by knife. The Siberia cases also had a pattern regarding the abuses being filmed and shared on social media. One case of outing with photos spread over social media, one case of a rape was filmed, and one case had a trans person being forced to call themselves a pervert on camera. Additionally, one of the cases involved the well-known hate group Occupy Paedophilia. The trans man survivor started hormone therapy and his ex-boyfriend found out about it. His ex-boyfriend was very religious and thought that he was committing a sin. The ex-boyfriend set a meeting with the victim at his home. When he came, his ex-boyfriend took out a knife and started threatening him, saying that he would kill him. After half an hour of threats, the trans man was forced to take off his clothes and was raped. He was lying in that apartment all night, and he managed to find a key and run away only in the morning.
