In the wake of the brutal murder of renowned Ugandan
LGBTI human rights activist, Mr. David Kato, and
following growing concern over the practice of
removing and deporting sexual and gender minority
asylum claimants back to their home countries, UK
Lesbian & Gay Immigration Group (UKLGIG), Refugee
Law Project and the wider Ugandan Civil Society
Coalition on Human Rights & Constitutional Law,
invite you to a public launch of a revealing
documentary on the realities of lesbian, gay and
trans asylum-seeking.

GETTING OUT
A film produced by the Refugee Law Project in
collaboration with the Ugandan Civil Society
Coalition on Human Rights & Constitutional Law

For many LGBTI Africans, coming out to family and
friends at home is not even an option. Before they
can come out, they have first to get out. This means
not only finding means to escape the political
forces promoting homophobia at home, but also
dealing with the hypocrisies and failings of asylum
systems the world over. Through the true stories of
five individuals, Getting Out, a sixty minute
documentary shot in Uganda, South Africa, Geneva and
London, with supporting footage from Malawi and
Zimbabwe, explores just what it takes...
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion
with guest speakers including Dr Chris Dolan,
Director of Refugee Law Project; S. Chelvan,
Barrister, No5 Chambers; Ugandan LGBTI Activist (tbc)
and a representative from The Home Office.
After the discussion there will be the opportunity
to interact with two of the asylum seekers featured
in the film, as well as the producer and directors.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Erin Power
Group Manager, UKLGIG
