RESEARCH THEMES

Rethinking Protection Through Lived Experiences

Under the title “Transforming LGBTIQ+ asylum policies: A multi-country cross-sectoral approach to research, policy, and advocacy”, the project explores LGBTIQ+ asylum through a wide set of interconnected themes. Rather than reducing asylum to legal procedure alone, it looks at how protection is shaped by everyday life, structural inequality, institutional violence and collective survival.
