dc.description.abstract	This article considers whether the refugee governance system and humanitarian programs in Malaysia accommodate people with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE). It contributes to an area of migration research which has been under-researched, on structural processes shaping the lives of sexual and gender minorities as they seek asylum in transit countries in the Global South. The article applies an intersectional feminist lens to highlight multiple forms of injustice through understanding the intersection of refugee-ness with sexuality, gender and other axes of differentiation. A post-intentional phenomenological research design is applied to explore the ‘lifeworlds’ of refugees and reflect on their process of orientation within their experience of forced migration. This provides learning about refugees with diverse SOGIE orienting within their reconstituted community in exile, their host community, human rights advocacy groups and humanitarian actors providing protection services.

Abstract:

This article considers whether the refugee governance system and humanitarian programs in Malaysia accommodate people with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE). It contributes to an area of migration research which has been under-researched, on structural processes shaping the lives of sexual and gender minorities as they seek asylum in transit countries in the Global South. The article applies an intersectional feminist lens to highlight multiple forms of injustice through understanding the intersection of refugee-ness with sexuality, gender and other axes of differentiation. A post-intentional phenomenological research design is applied to explore the ‘lifeworlds’ of refugees and reflect on their process of orientation within their experience of forced migration. This provides learning about refugees with diverse SOGIE orienting within their reconstituted community in exile, their host community, human rights advocacy groups and humanitarian actors providing protection services.
