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. 410 0$aIMISCOE Research 606 $aMigration, immigration & emigration$2bicssc 606 $aHuman rights$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration$2bicssc 606 $aGender studies, gender groups$2bicssc 610 $aOpen access 610 $aSexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI) 610 $aEuropean asylum systems 610 $aHomophobia and transphobia 610 $aSOGI-related asylum claims 610 $aHuman rights violations 610 $aLaw, policy and practice 610 $aMigration and integration 610 $aRefugees 610 $aSexual diversity 615 7$aMigration, immigration & emigration 615 7$aHuman rights 615 7$aPublic administration 615 7$aGender studies, gender groups 700 $aDanisi$b Carmelo$0718540 701 $aDustin$b Moira$01237080 701 $aFerreira$b Nuno$0476329 701 $aHeld$b Nina$01237081 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494567503321 996 $aQueering Asylum in Europe$92871924 997 $aUNINA
