Within Peru, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer/questioning (LGBTIQ) groups experience significant levels of violence, particularly LGBTIQ youth. This study explored youth responses to violence in two cities: Lima and Ayacucho. We sought to formulate key factors facilitating LGBTIQ youth resilience to inform local practice and policy. Focus groups were conducted with youth that self-identified as gay and transgender. We used thematic analysis to identify both inductive and deductive themes. Deductive themes were driven from resilience and structural violence theories. Structural and direct violence was reported by all youth with differences regarding the role of self, place and people in their resilience pathways. Despite experiencing everyday violence, LGBTIQ youth participants displayed remarkable resilience, though the resilience strategies and experiences of violence were distinctive for each group. Transgender youth relied more on their collective rather than individual resilience. In contrast, gay youth revealed a high level of individual resilience. Overall, the participants exhibited a fluidity of resilient and resistant behaviours toward violence. The use of place theory and a social resistance framework is suggested for interventions that effectively honour and foster the courageous resilience of LGBTIQ youth and effectively equalize their opportunities.
在秘鲁国内，女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、双性人以及酷儿/存疑者（LGBTIQ）群体遭受着严重的暴力侵害，尤其是LGBTIQ青年。本研究探讨了利马和阿亚库乔这两个城市的青年对暴力的反应。我们试图找出有助于LGBTIQ青年恢复力的关键因素，为当地实践和政策提供参考。我们与自我认同为同性恋和跨性别的青年进行了焦点小组访谈。我们采用主题分析法来确定归纳主题和演绎主题。演绎主题源自恢复力和结构性暴力理论。所有青年都报告了结构性暴力和直接暴力，且在自我、地点和人际关系在他们恢复力路径中的作用方面存在差异。尽管LGBTIQ青年参与者每天都遭受暴力，但他们展现出了非凡的恢复力，不过每个群体应对暴力的恢复力策略和经历各不相同。跨性别青年更多地依赖集体而非个人的恢复力。相比之下，男同性恋青年则展现出了较高的个人恢复力。总体而言，参与者对暴力表现出了恢复力行为和抵抗行为的灵活性。建议在干预措施中运用地点理论和社会抵抗框架，以有效尊重和培养LGBTIQ青年勇敢的恢复力，并切实平等化他们的机会。
