What does it mean to live without citizenship, while also navigating the realities of being q***r?
In Sabah, Malaysia, stateless q***r people live at the intersection of multiple forms of exclusion. Without recognised citizenship or documentation, access to education, healthcare, decent work, legal protection, and freedom of movement can become extremely difficult. For q***r and trans people, these barriers are further compounded by discrimination, gender policing, and SOGIESC-based stigma.
ASEAN SOGIE Caucus invites partners, advocates, and allies to a regional online dissemination of:
Stateless Q***r Lives in Sabah, Malaysia: Wellbeing, Citizenship, and Human Rights. Drawing from the lived experiences of stateless and formerly stateless q***r people in Sabah, this exploratory research asks us to look beyond statelessness as simply a question of documents. It is also a question of belonging, dignity, safety, and the right to have rights.
