Description

Welcome to Over the Rainbow, the podcast: a safe space and voice for all queer identities. 

Episode 34: LGBTQ+ Asylum with Stuart @ Rainbow Migration (he/him):

In this episode, Stuart and I talk about LGBTQ+ folk seeking asylum. So, we explore what asylum is, why LGTQ+ folk may need to seek asylum, and the process they go through in the UK. This includes exposing the awful standards that need to be met for queer folk to seek asylum and the awful living conditions they are subject to. Finally, we share some resources for anyone seeking asylum, or anyone wanting to support refugees.

Asylum and refugee resources:
