Occurs when violence is reiterated and continued at the state level, institutions or through people who provide services. In these cases, the victim suffers violence continuously, not as a direct result of the act of violence suffered, but due to the way in which institutions and other people deal with the victim. Specifically, among LGBTI+ victims, it may include the use of inappropriate language, discrediting, LGBTI+phobic comments, discriminatory acts, among others.

Abstract
LGBTI+ people are victims of different forms of violence all over the world, from situations of hate, discrimination, LGBTI+ phobic bullying, domestic violence, and even violence within intimate relationships. A large part of this violence sends a message to the community: a message of intolerance and non-acceptance. These are acts that undermine the dignity and identity of the victims. This chapter therefore aims to specify these forms of violence, outlining and understanding the differential impact that violence has on LGBTI+ victims. At the same time, it seeks to list some measures that can contribute to combating or reducing the occurrence of this violence.
