Abstract

This chapter documents and critiques the nature of representations of gender, sexuality and religion in the contemporary ‘refugee crisis’, and traces the broad implications of these representational frames on refugees’ experiences of attempting to secure international protection in the global North. Focusing on the faith-gender-asylum nexus offers a key entry point to critically understand both refugees’ experiences of different processes of displacement and of attempting to secure protection via asylum or resettlement, and the various responses - legal, political, humanitarian, existential - developed by states, refugee advocates, NGOs and refugees themselves in such processes.
