This collection examines the opportunities and challenges, rights
and wrongs, and prospects and risks of Brexit from the perspectives
of gender and sexuality. While much has been written about Brexit
from legal, political, social and economic perspectives, there has
been little analysis of the effects of Brexit on women and
gender/sexual minorities who have historically been marginalised
and whose voices have been less audible in political debates - both
nationally and at the European level. The collection explores how
Brexit might change the equality, human rights and social justice
landscape, but from the viewpoint of women and gender/sexual
minorities. The contributions gathered in it demonstrate the
variety of ways that Brexit will make a difference to the lives of
women and individuals marginalised because of gender or sexual
identity.
This two-volume open-access book offers a theoretically and
empirically-grounded portrayal of the experiences of people
claiming international protection in Europe on the basis of their
sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). It shows how European
asylum systems might and should treat asylum claims based on
people's SOGI in a fairer, more humane way. Through a combined
comparative, interdisciplinary (socio-legal), human rights,
feminist, queer and intersectional approach, this book examines not
only the legal experiences of people claiming asylum on grounds of
their SOGI, but also their social experiences outside the asylum
decision-making framework. The authors analyse how SOGI-related
claims are adjudicated in different European frameworks (European
Union, Council of Europe, Germany, Italy and UK) and offer detailed
recommendations to adequately address the intersectional
experiences of individuals seeking asylum. This unique approach
ensures that the book is of interest not only to researchers in
migration and refugee studies, law and wider academic communities,
but also to policy makers and practitioners in the field of SOGI
asylum.
