The strategy mentions using evidence based approach throughout the document and says this:
One of the challenges of developing this Strategy lay in the limited availability of Irish-specific data, statistics and quantitative research relating to young LGBTI+ people in Ireland and, more broadly, the general LGBTI+ population in Ireland. Consultations, surveys, and so on, collate information from population samples, yet at a fundamental level, the challenges of measuring the LGBTI+ population remain. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) measures civil partnerships and same-sex marriages, and we should examine the role the Census may have in measuring the LGBTI+ population, although we understand the limitations of this tool for measuring such a population...
^ ...While the infrastructure of this Strategy itself, and the Report of the consultations with Young People in Ireland, offers a good insight into the lives of LGBTI+ young people, the limited availability of data relating to LGBTI+ people in Ireland was evident at all stages of the strategy development; during the environmental analysis, throughout the consultation process, and during Oversight Committee and Youth Advisory Group discussions regarding specific issues and actions. The reliance on limited data and surveys, as well a tendency for the LGBTI+ sector to refer to British or American data where Irish data is not available, hinders a strategic assessment of the LGBTI+ population’s needs and the development of appropriate responses.^
This also caught my eye because it specifically mentions lesbians who are missing from the conversation:
Although there are specific sexual health needs for the LGBTI+ community, particularly amongst men who have sex with men, healthy, respectful relationships should be the experience of all young people who choose to be in relationships, or have sexual partners, regardless of their gender expression or sexual identity. That said, the frequent emphasis on male sexual health should not overshadow the sexual health needs of young lesbian and bisexual women, which are often missing from the conversation.
Idk, OP, as a strategic plan it's fine. Obviously, there are some things in there that I don't particularly agree with, but nothing I am surprised by given the climate.
