Guide for LGBTI+ refugees on experiences with safe third country

LGBTI+ refugees who are forced to migrate to Turkey due to the sense of insecurity are resettled in safer and more protected countries in terms of LGBTI+ rights within the scope of their international protection application in Turkey. Although this process is not definite for every LGBTI+ refugee, the country where more adequate protection is provided than the country of arrival is defined as “Safe Third Country”. This guide, created from the experiences of LGBTI+ refugees who stayed with conditional refugee status in Turkey for many years and then were resettled in a “Safe Third Country”, aims to draw a general picture with different country procedures.
