MIGRANT LIVES | Being Homosexual Was a Crime

Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world.

When a boat or canoe arrives, xenophobes always say they are not refugees, a status that is not granted to all migrants because there are no wars in their countries.

For a migrant to apply for asylum and become part of the international protection system and the national reception network, a series of conditions outlined in the Geneva Convention must be met: you must have a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group, such as the LGBTIQA+ community.

Remember in Spain there was a concentration camp for homosexuals In Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands.

And with this, I conclude today's episode. See you in the next one!

If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, feel free to drop me a comment.
