Fleeing homophobia, ASYLUM CLAIMS RELATED TO SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY IN THE EU.

About the project

Each year, thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) asylum seekers apply for asylum in EU Member States. During the Fleeing Homophobia project, Sabine Jansen (COC) and Thomas Spijkerboer (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) have undertaken a comparative research about how these applications have been dealt with. Further to their findings, they have formulated policy recommendations. The research findings and policy recommendations were shared and discussed during the conference ‘Fleeing Homophobia’. The conference took place at 5 and 6 September 2011 at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
