The Road to Safety for LGBTI Refugees




Human Rights First » FirstCast show

Summary: In December last year, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out strongly in support of global LGBT rights at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Her speech coincided with a directive from President Obama to prioritize the protection of LGBTI rights in US foreign policy. On FirstCast this week, we focus on some of the most vulnerable of the LGBT community: refugees. We look at what the Obama Administration and the international community is and should be doing to protect them from violence and discrimination.
