Petition Retain 5-year ILR Pathway for LGBTIQ+ Refugees in the UK
The Government’s new asylum policy proposes replacing the current five-year refugee leave with temporary 30-month grants and delaying eligibility for settlement to 20 years for those on the new core protection route. We believe these changes will disproportionately impact LGBTIQ+ refugees negatively
More details
The five-year ILR route lets refugees rebuild their lives, integrate and access stability. Replacing it with 30-month renewals for up to 20 years creates harmful insecurity, especially for LGBTIQ+ refugees who face heightened risks of homelessness, exploitation and discrimination. The proposed system adds bureaucracy, worsens backlogs and undermines effective protection and international humanitarian standards.
