How can we learn from each other’s different experiences and perspectives?
The meeting, that took place on the third of March 2018, aimed to collect the experiences of LGBTIQ+ refugees of different sexual orientations and gender identities and to discuss how the refugee activists can approach these issues. The discussion focused mainly on the problems of LGBTIQ+ refugees during the asylum procedure, on their security in the camps and on assignment and distribution practices. With regard to the planned AnkER-centres, many questions were raised by the participants: How can security be guaranteed there? How will LGBTIQ+ refugees get access to LGBTIQ+ organizations? And how will they be informed about their rights and possibilities in Germany?
