Description:
Migrants, asylum-seekers, refugees, and stateless and internally displaced people – or people on the move – who have diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) face a complex array of challenges and threats in their countries of origin, migration and asylum, including discrimination, prejudice, violence and difficulty accessing assistance. IOM and UNHCR have jointly developed a comprehensive training package on the protection of people with diverse SOGIESC for personnel as well as the broader humanitarian community. The training’s modules cover a variety of topics, including terminology, international law, communication, protection, assisted voluntary return and reintegration (AVRR) and Refugee Status Determination (RSD), all with a focus on practical guidance for IOM and UNHCR offices and partner organizations.
