Abstract
At this urgent roundtable, transnational queer activists and queer displaced people from Ukraine and Syria discuss the most pressing issues for LGBTQ+ people in situations where war and armed conflict exacerbate discrimination. They also reflect on how displacement, war and conflict become a lens to understand cisgenderism and heteronormativity.
* You can also donate to the Guardians of Equality Movement that supports Syrian LGBTQIA+ people.
