Under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol it has been well settled for decades that women and LGBTQ+ people who are persecuted and need to flee their home countries are to be protected by the international community.
▪︎ This is the hard reality LGBTQ+ people live with across the world. We need compassion and support from our political leaders and affirmation that they abide by international law.
▪︎ The indisputable fact is that LGBTQ+ people continue to face persecution across the world. There are still over 60 countries around the world where same-sex relations are criminalised, including 12 with a death penalty, simply for being who they are and loving who they love.

▪︎ The UK has a proud recent history of helping LGBTQ+ people fleeing persecution from the Taliban & for standing up for our rights globally. This is the leadership we need, not a race to the bottom and turning our back on LGBTQ+ people in some of the world’s most hostile contexts.
