FORCED MIGRATION REVIEW ISSUE 42 on ' Sexual orientation and gender identity and the protection of forced migrants' is now online at www.fmreview.org/sogi
Around the world, people face abuse, arbitrary arrest, extortion, violence, severe discrimination and lack of official protection because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. This latest issue of FMR includes 26 articles on the abuse of rights of forced migrants who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex. Authors discuss both the challenges faced and examples of good practice in securing protection for LGBTI forced migrants.
The full list of contents, with web links, is given at the end of this email.
FMR 42 will be available online and in print in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
An expanded contents listing for this issue - FMR42 Listing - is available at www.fmreview.org/sogi/FMR42listing.pdf
