Within the context of the new SDGs’ vision to ‘leave no one behind’, this dialogue explored the myriad challenges facing LGBTI migrants who have left their home countries seeking asylum in SA. It provided a space for dialogue between LGBTI migrants from across the continent, South African government representatives and members of civil society, within a rights framework.
