When persecution flees with you
LGBT asylum seekers in Denmark often face harassment and discrimination similar to the environments they fled from. Rahim, an asylum seeker, experienced threats and physical confrontations at an asylum center. LGBT Asylum, an organization in contact with 220 asylum seekers since 2013, recorded at least 13 incidents of verbal or physical assault since 2011. Arthur from Uganda, who was granted asylum in January 2016, had to hide his sexuality due to prevailing negative attitudes. Rose, also from Uganda, faces threatening attitudes from other asylum seekers. LGBT Asylum suggests improving conditions through staff education or establishing centers specifically for LGBT asylum seekers. Udlændingestyrelsen acknowledges the challenges in preventing harassment but is open to dialogue for better prevention.
