Informazioni-paese su Orientamento Sessuale e Identità di Genere
Qui sotto potrete consultare una lista di banche dati, siti web e risorse digitali che forniscono informazioni specifiche riguardo al trattamento delle persone LGBTIQ+ in ogni Stato. Questa iniziativa è il frutto di un lavoro congiunto tra SOGICA project, Asylum Research Centre (ARC) and UKLGIG. Questa vuole essere un’utile risorsa per tutti i rappresentanti legali di persone richiedenti asilo sulla base dell’orientamento sessuale, identità di genere o espressione di genere. Si cercherà di mantenere costantemente aggiornato il contenuto di questa pagina anche se si invita a non considerarla né come una lista esaustiva né come sostitutiva di risorse già esistenti. Al contrario, vuole valorizzare e promuovere materiale già liberamente accessibile in rete. Decliniamo ogni responsabilità riguardo l’accuratezza delle fonti qui incluse e la loro presenza su questa pagina non va assolutamente intesa come un nostro sostegno o appoggio. Si tiene a sottolineare che nessuna delle informazioni qui contenute deve essere valutata come un’approvazione della sicurezza di un determinato Paese per le persone LGBTIQ+. Inoltre, le risorse di seguito elencate non devono essere considerate come aventi tutte la stessa accuratezza o validità, dunque si consiglia di procedere sempre a un controllo delle fonti. Infine, si prega di fare attenzione al fatto che alcune delle risorse potrebbero essere accessibili ai soli membri o abbonati.
Aggiornamento: a partire da gennaio 2019 Refworld ha interrotto il servizio di raccolta di informazioni sui paesi di origine. Allo stesso tempo, ecoi.net è stato pubblicamente riconosciuto da UNHCR come la principale piattaforma mondiale per le informazioni riguardanti i paesi di origine. La piattaforma ecoi.net è parte di ACCORD (the Austrian Centre for Country of Origin and Asylum Research and Documentation) a sua volta un dipartimento della Croce Rossa Austriaca. Refworld, nel suo comunicato, sottolinea che durante tutto il 2019 concentrerà i suoi forzi nel migliorare i contenuti riguardanti le politiche e la legislazione in materia. Queste due piattaforme, come auspicato da Refworld, permetteranno agli utenti di avere un facile e rapido accesso ad una informazione sempre aggiornata e di altissima qualità.
Vi invitiamo ad inviarci una mail in caso si vogliano suggerire altre risorse non ancora presenti su questa pagina.
