Caribe Afirmativo's extensive experience in the field has illuminated these barriers and underscored the urgent need for a sexual and gender diversity approach within international refugee frameworks.Participants will gain firsthand knowledge of recent research examining the experiences of Venezuelan individuals seeking refuge in Colombia, attendees will explore tangible recommendations for advancing the implementation of the Cartagena Declaration with a focus on sexual and gender diversity.By sharing real-life case studies, best practices, and advocacy strategies, this workshop aims to catalyse transformative change in both societal attitudes and institutional practices. Join us as we collaborate to ensure the human rights of LGBTIQ+ individuals in need of international protection are fully recognised and upheld.
