This section contains details of resources which raise awareness of the issues facing asylum seekers and refugees. This includes resources which explore issues facing asylum seekers and refugees who are also LGBT, as well as useful general information. "Crimes of hate, conspiracy of silence. Torture and ill-treatment based on sexual identity" - Amnesty International 2001 This report highlights cases of violence and ill-treatment of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people all around the world based on their sexuality and gender identity.  Inexile Magazine - Issue 23 October 2002 This issue of Inexile, the magazine on refugee rights, explores some of the issues facing LGBT asylum seekers and refugees. "Changes to the Asylum System" – Refugee Council 2002 Refugee Council briefing on the Nationality, Immigration & Asylum Act 2002 "What's behind the Headlines?" - Scottish Refugee Council This briefing provides answers to some of the dominant misconceptions about asylum seekers and refugees. "Appalled by the media’s attitude to asylum seekers? – a guide to responding to the press" – Scottish Refugee Council The Scottish Refugee Council has produced this handy, step-by-step guide on how to respond to negative, misrepresentative or racist press stories about asylum seekers and refugees. Advice for Asylum Seekers and Refugees provided by Refugee Council The Refugee Council’s website contains a variety of up-to-date information in several languages. “Nailing press myths about refugees” – Refugee Council 2002 The Refugee Council presents a few of the most pervasive myths which appear in British newspapers, against a few facts which put the record straight. “Changing lives - stories of exile” – Refugee Council 1997 In recent years refugees have met with increasing hostility in the UK - but their own, personal stories have rarely been heard. This report gathers together the stories of women and men from Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Russia, Somalia and Iraq, who talk about their lives and the changes they have been forced to make since becoming refugees. “I Didn’t Come Here For Fun…- Listening to the Views of Children and Young People who are Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Scotland” - Save the Children Fund This report contains the words of ordinary children and young people caught up in extra-ordinary circumstances – of being forced from their homes, family and friends through violent conflict, persecution and war. Arriving on our shores, through often treacherous journeys, they are then faced with making a new life for themselves in a strange, and not always welcoming, country.
