Changing SOGIE in Conflict, Peace and Displacement in the MENA

The research examines the impact of the Syrian War and attendant displacement on diverse SOGIE individuals and communities in Lebanon and Syria. It will also interrogate the ways in which different national and international/multinational institutions have responded to the needs of refugees with diverse SOGIE, and how this has changed the normative environment around these issues – and also led to tensions within the diverse SOGIE community. Based on fieldwork in both countries, the project outputs include academic publications, policy papers and stakeholder workshops.
