Researching the situation of lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons (LGB) in countries of origin
Publication metadata
While sharing many methodological similarities with other types of COI research, reporting on the situation of LGB in countries of origin can become a difficult task for several reasons (variety of search terms, scarce sources, general information...). Becoming acquainted with terminology, local contexts and types of sources, understanding relevant research questions and search terms and obtaining alternative sources of information can better equip a researcher confronted with the difficulties of this topic. This guide aims to provide background knowledge as well as useful tips and sources for researching the situation of LGB in countries of origin. The guide focuses on researching the situation of LGB since transgender and intersex applicants for international protection are not so common. The guide should serve the needs of both experienced and inexperienced COI researchers, as well as caseworkers conducting COI research. Additionally, it may assist lawyers, legal aid providers and judges working in the asylum process. The guide should be consulted in conjunction with EASO’s Country of origin information report methodology and the Common EU Guidelines for processing Country of Origin Information (COI), which provide the general framework for COI methodology and quality standards.
