Participate in research on LGBTQI+ migration

 Dear GPN (Gay Professional Network),

 

The IARS International Institute are asking for your support to improve the lives of LGBTQI+ migrants by promoting the Queer Migrants Project survey to LGBTQI+ migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, as their experiences and opinions need to be heard!

 

Our EU-funded Queer Migrants Project survey will explore the experiences of LGBTQI+ migrants on the journey to and life in the UK whilst considering the changes needed to improve this.

The aim of this research is to gain a greater understanding of LGBTQI+ migrants' experiences and opinions on a more integrated service for LGBTQI+ migrants. The survey is completely anonymous and only takes 10-15 minutes to complete.

 

The survey can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/DarhQzR9taN87bHq9

 

The key aim of the Queer Migrants project is to strengthen the capacity of professionals in answering the needs of LGBTQI+ refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers. This will be achieved through the objective of developing a sustainable training programme that will enlighten professionals on the challenges posed by the double stigma attached to this community.

 

Please help make a difference and support this research by passing this survey onto your contacts.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Best wishes,

Maija Linnala
