Glossary providing appropiate terminology for LGBT-Individuals published

Humanitarian aid and refugee work often lacks knowledge and non-violent vocabulary in regards to LGBT-individuals. To combat this, ORAM (Organization for Refuge, Asylum & Migration) has published a multi-language glossary that explains terms relating to diverse sexual orientations and gender identities and expressions to foster a more informed and less violent form of communication.

The glossary was published in English, French, Turkish, Farsi and Arabic und explains identities like "genderqueer", concepts like "transphobia" and highlights which words are offensive, hurtful or violent. The glossary can be downloaded on ORAM's official Website.
