Hevi LGBTI Association, ‘LGBTI Refugees’, 2019

Abstract

This book, ‘LGBTI Refugees’, was prepared by Hevi LGBTI Association, the Hevi working team on LGBTI refugees, and with the support of the specialists in their field. To begin with, we want to point out the violation of rights, originating from the definations of the terms ‘Refugee, Asylum-Seeker, Immigrant, Guest’. Accordingly, we start by discussing the topic within the frame of Turkish law system and international legal dimension.
