McKnight, P., Phillimore, J., River, D., Parekh, M., and Zadeh, L., ‘Forced migration and sexual and gender-based violence in queer communities: UK findings from the SEREDA project’, Birmingham, University of Birmingham, June 2024
Abstract
This report by the University of Birmingham with support from Rainbow Migration shines a light on the harms that LGBTQI+ people experience within the asylum system. People who have escaped persecution and come to the UK to rebuild their lives in safety should be met with compassion, instead government policies are exposing them to harm. This is entirely fixable, and this report lays out the urgency for doing so.
