Sexual inequality includes social disadvantage, stigma, discrimination, and violence based on s*xual conduct, s*xual identity, or perceived s*xual orientation. Protection against s*xual injustice is minimal, and even the knowledge of s*xual health and rights is rather poorly developed. The study of these issues also has been extremely difficult because of the historical barriers confronting s*xuality research. In this regard, s*xual orientation is a significant source of social inequality, just as race/ethnicity, gender, and social class.

Bullying and violence against individuals thought or known to be a part of the LGBTQIA community is perhaps the most serious manifestation of inequality based on s*xual orientation. Teenagers are very often targets of taunting, bullying, physical assault, and other abuse in schools and elsewhere. 85 percent of LGBT students report being verbally harassed at school, 72 percent report hearing antigay slurs, 61 percent feel unsafe, 30 percent miss at least one day of school in the previous month for fear of their safety; and 17 percent are physically assaulted to the point they need medical attention.

The mistreatment experienced by the LGBTQIA Community have significant mental health effects.They are at a greater risk of experiencing depression, anxiety, social phobia, adjustment disorders and low self-esteem. Also tend to engage in risky and/or unhealthy behaviors such as drug abuse and having unprotected s*x.

While home is the safest place for most of us, the lives of many from the community is often no better at home. They could either get rejected by the parents, kicked out or sometimes have to leave because of the intolerable home environment causing homelessness.

While section 377 seems like a step forward, it was the absolute basic necessity. What actually is needed is empathy, educating the youth and supporting the community is any and as many ways as we can. Start with having a conversation and converting it into something concrete.

October 10 is World Mental Health Da y and the International theme for this year is 'Mental Health in an Unequal World'.

This year, let's do a mini-series. Everyday will be a different topic under the theme. Understanding and acknowledging the gap between the have's and have not's, is the first and the most crucial step towards trying to build a more equal world for everybody and it's about time we take this step!

Just when we thought things are getting better, we were smacked hard in the face by the second wave. With the number of patients increasing at a catastrophic level, the healthcare system breaking down and the subsequent financial strain, uncertainty is inevitable. At such times it is vital to give importance to out mental health. Living with Uncertainty is harrowing to say the least, but we can take few simple steps to not let it affect us!
