36. What injustices do LGBTQ+ asylum seekers face?
The Refugee Convention classes anyone as a refugee who fears persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. This does not include one group of people who are frequently persecuted for who they are, namely LGBTQ+ people. Yet many countries do recognise sexual orientation as a ground of asylum, at least in theory. In practice, LGBTQ asylum seekers face many obstacles in trying to prove their cases. The episode will mainly focus on the situation in Germany and in the UK.
