Young & LGBTQI in the asylum process and Why didn’t you tell us? are two films produced by Newcomers Youth for educational purposes. The films can be used as a supplement in lectures to highlight the situation of LGBTQ youth in the asylum process and to focus on the youths’ own experiences of being asylum seekers in Sweden. The information and recommendations are based on Newcomers Youth reports and the experience we have acquired in the project since its start in 2016.

SUPPORT AND ACTIVITIES

Our staff can communicate in several languages and are familiar with the challenges of being queer with a migrant background in Sweden. We warmly welcome you regardless of gender, sexual orientation, color, ethnicity, legal status, ability, or religion. You are welcome, just as you are.

You, as a participant, may be an asylum seeker, undocumented, have been granted a residence permit, migrated with family or to reunite with a partner, to work, study, or for any other reason, and want to find a context together with other young LGBTQI migrants.

In addition to social gathering activities and youth camps, we offer free legal advice during the asylum-seeking process. We also provide information and activities designed to enhance the well-being of our members.
