Dixson and Dixson, Report on the Queer Displacements: Sexuality, Migration and Exile conference, 2019.

During 13-15th of November 2019, we held the first conference in Australia solely dedicated to the issues of LGBTIQ+ forced displacement. The conference was attended by 150 participants (academics, service providers, policy makers, government officials and LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers and refugees). We’ve provided full scholarships to 27 refugees to be a centre of the event. This is a historic event. It was organised by queer refugee women and centred the voices of LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers.
