This report presents the first ever study of people of diverse Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
(SOGIE) in Vanuatu.
The study was conducted in line with the UNDP call that “inclusion of LGBTI
people is imperative if we are to deliver on the pledge of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development”, leaving no one behind.
The design of the study, data analysis, and the research report were carried out by Human Capacity
Development International (HCDI), on behalf of VPride. Data collection for the study was carried out
in March of 2021, through surveys administered by trained enumerators, and online. Survey
questions focused on collecting basic demographics and capturing key experiences of self-identified
SOGIE diverse people, mostly on Efate. There were 275 respondents total.
