No Pride In Detention short film screening and Q&A
LGBTQIA+ people come to the UK fleeing persecution. But instead of finding safety here, some are locked up in detention centres where they face LGBTQIA-phobic bullying, harassment and abuse. No Pride in Detention (2022) was created by Rainbow Migration, with LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers in Liverpool City Region.
The short film will be followed by a panel discussion, which will include detailed accounts of lived experience as an asylum seeker in the UK.

- Emma Webb (Campaigns Manager, Rainbow Migration)
- Arthur Britney Joestar (Moderator, Heart of Glass)
