The research team of LGBT World Beside has prepared a research on the state and conditions of the Russian+speaking LGBTQI+ refugees seeking asylum in the Netherlands.
Key findings:
· Multiple Layers of Discrimination: Russian-speaking LGBTQI+ refugees experience significant discrimination in areas such as healthcare, housing, and social integration. Homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia present constant threats.
· Mental Health Impact: Identified issues severely impact the mental health of refugees, leading to social isolation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicide risk.
· Urgent and Coordinated Action Needed: The government of the Netherlands, civil society organizations, and international institutions must take immediate steps to address these issues and create safe, supportive conditions for Russian-speaking LGBTQI+ refugees.
Detailed results of the research are presented in the reports below.
