Seeking Safety: SOGI and International Protection: Episode 1

In the first episode, doctoral researcher Liselot Casteleyn guides us into the world of SOGI-based international protection, based on her work with LGBTQ+ people navigating the Belgian asylum system. We step into the journeys of Zaen and Kabuye, two experts by experience, as they recount the moment they reached Belgium in search of safety. Their stories reveal the human side of the registration process; its hopes, hurdles, and the first encounters that shape an asylum trajectory.
