Rainbow Migration, Mermaids, Micro Rainbow and Stonewall, ‘Nationality and Borders Bill 2021 – Policy Brief: Ensuring LGBT+ protection is not lost’, 2021

Abstract

The Nationality and Borders Bill 2021 (‘the Bill’) makes sweeping changes to the UK asylum system. This brief highlights the particular and significant impact these suggested changes may have by endangering LGBT+ people who are fleeing persecution in other countries and seeking sanctuary (“asylum” or “refugee protection”) in the UK, specifically in relation to the following areas of the bill:
1. Temporary protection status
2. Accommodation and offshore processing centres
3. Standard of proof
4. “Late” claims
5. “Late” evidence and expedited appeals
