Abstract

Human rights have been increasingly recognized irrespective of one's sexual orientation of gender identity (SOGI) at international, regional and domestic levels; however, legal frameworks do not yet tackle violations of such rights effectively. As a result, members of SOGI minorities may be forced to flee their countries of origin to protect themselves, often making SOGI-based asylum claims in host countries. There are no reliable statistics on the global number of SOGI claimants, but based on media and NGO reports and estimates, thousands of SOGI claimants seek international protection every year.
