Antonio
In many societies, LGBTQIA+ people are victims of severe human rights violations, violence, torture and aggression. The need is to rebuild self-confidence, trust in authorities and institutions, and to make people aware of their identity and proud of themselves.
Arsène
“We need LGBTIQ+ associations in the reception centres. I didn’t have that.”
Huguette
“When I was made visible, I had to leave everything, I was threatened with death.”
Sara
“Take the time to learn about LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers’ specific needs.”
