English abstract Since the 1980’s it has been possible to claim asylum on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in some countries. Most studies on this topic focus on countries in the Global North. Therefore, there is still a lack of research that comparatively analyses the Global North with the Global South. The aim of this article is then to analyse and compare the approaches of two countries that grant refugee status on the basis of sexuality and gender identity, one in the Global North (the United Kingdom) and one in the Global South (South Africa)
Portuguese abstract Desde a década de 1980, é possível solicitar refúgio por motivos de orientação sexual e identidade de gênero em alguns países. A maioria dos estudos sobre essa temática foca em países do Norte Global. Assim sendo, ainda há uma falta de pesquisas que analisem comparativamente o Norte Global com o Sul Global. O objetivo deste artigo é, portanto, analisar e comparar as abordagens de dois países que reconhecem o status de refugiado por motivos de sexualidade e identidade de gênero, um do Norte Global (Reino Unido) e outro do Sul Global (África do Sul)
