Portugal has seen an increase in immigration from Brazilians who fear repression from the country's far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is outspoken in opposing homosexuality. In an interview with Playboy in June 2011 he said he would rather his son 'die in an accident' than be gay.
Every 16 hours on average a homophobic murder takes place in Brazil. Between 2011 and 2018, 4422 people from the LGBT plus community were killed. Since the election of Jair Bolsonaro, attacks on the community have multiplied, leading many gay or transgender Brazilians to flee their country. Because of the language and cultural links, many choose Portugal. It’s the only country in Europe where the constitution explicitly bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.Homosexual marriage was legalised in 2010. Our team went to Portugal to meet four LGBT Brazilians who feared for their lives in their home country. They’ve left everything behind to start a new life. Here’s what they had to say. Report by Mélina Huet and Sarah Morris.
As South Sudan marks five years of independence, tens of thousands of people continue to flee insecurity and, increasingly, hunger. Malnutrition rates among South Sudanese refugee children in Kenya’s Kakuma camp are on the rise, with more refugees arriving every day.
Facing xenophobia in many countries where they seek refuge, young Venezuelans are settling on street corners in downtown La Paz, Bolivia to sell candies to survive and to send a little money back home.
Syrians who have recently become refugees due to the Turkish military operation in northeastern Syria arrive at the Bardarash camp, near the Kurdish city of Dohuk, in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region. Hundreds of Syrian Kurds entered neighbouring Iraqi's Kurdish autonomous region, fleeing a Turkish invasion.
