As part of QISA’s efforts to diversify and showcase different queer voices, we will be hosting a small panel with the Migration Initiative to hear from migrants on their personal experiences of being queer and juggling being a migrant. We would also like to hear from those who have fled from countries criminalising LGBT community members and sought to claim asylum. From family expectations to cultural differences, who are we amidst it all?

This event is in collaboration with the Migration Initiative and Queeramnesty.
