Description

Please join HIAS for a discussion of our new publication, "Invisible in the City," written for HIAS by Yiftach Milo, an expert in forced migration. Funded by the U.S. government, this groundbreaking report brings to light vulnerability and protection issues among LGBTI refugees in Ecuador, Ghana, Israel, and Kenya and provides a comprehensive guide and key recommendations for the treatment of LGBTI refugees everywhere.

Yiftach will be joined by Jesse Bernstein, Program Officer at Office of Global Programs, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, U.S. Department of State and Michael Sisitzky, Staff Attorney at Immigration Equality. Rachel Levitan, Senior Counsel (Refugees and Migration) at HIAS, will moderate.
