Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people face unique and specific risks at all stages of migration. Their experiences of migration are distinct from other migrants due to the multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination they may face, especially owing to their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). As part of a series of studies on the intersections of gender and migration, this paper aims to fill a considerable gap in literature on the experiences of LGBTIQ+ people globally at all stages of migration.
