Saving lives in the Mediterranean Sea: the need for an urgent response
In the draft resolution, paragraph 4.2, after the word "children", insert the following words: "people from LGBT+ communities,".
Explanatory note
LGBT+ migrants are a particularly vulnerable group because they often face exclusion, discrimination and even violence within their own families and communities. The persecution does not end at state borders but continues throughout their journey to safety as they travel with their families or communities.
