Despite landmark legal changes in Australia and elsewhere recognising equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people, many countries continue to criminalise and demonise the everyday lives of LGBTIQ people. Claiming asylum in a Western liberal democracy on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity can be fraught. Listen to this special panel event offering Australian and global perspectives on refugee protection for LGBTIQ people.

On 26 November 2019, the Kaldor Centre hosted its sixth annual conference, entitled 'Good decisions: Achieving fairness in refugee law, policy and practice'. This keynote address was presented by Dr Hilary Evans Cameron, a former litigator who represented refugee claimants for a decade. She holds a doctorate in refugee law from the University of Toronto, where she is a lecturer in the Ethics, Society and Law Program, in addition to being an Adjunct Professor at Osgood Hall Law School. It is entitled "Toward 'fair, transparent and protection-sensitive' credibility judgments."
