Contents:
Part I: Contextualising SOGI asylum research -- Chapter 1. Why sexual orientation and gender identity asylum? -- Chapter 2. Researching SOGI asylum -- Chapter 3. A theoretical framework: A human rights reading of SOGI asylum based on feminist and queer studies -- Part II: The legal and social experiences of SOGI asylum claimants and refugees -- Chapter 4. The policy and guidance -- Chapter 5. Life in the countries of origin, departure and travel towards Europe -- Chapter 6. The decision-making procedure.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This open access book offers a theoretically and empirically-grounded portrayal of the experiences of people claiming international protection in Europe on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). It shows how European asylum systems might and should treat asylum claims based on people’s SOGI in a fairer, more humane way. Through a combined comparative, interdisciplinary (socio-legal), human rights, feminist, queer and intersectional approach, this book examines not only the legal experiences of people claiming asylum on grounds of their SOGI, but also their social experiences outside the asylum decision-making framework. The authors analyse how SOGI-related claims are adjudicated in different European frameworks (European Union, Council of Europe, Germany, Italy and UK) and offer detailed recommendations to adequately address the intersectional experiences of individuals seeking asylum. This unique approach ensures that the book is of interest not only to researchers in migration and refugee studies, law and wider academic communities, but also to policy makers and practitioners in the field of SOGI asylum.
