dc.description.abstractThis research aims to investigate the victimization of sexual and gender minority (SGM) migrants, focusing on Canadian and Ukrainian perceptions and perspectives. Through in-depth interviews with six students from MacEwan University and Ukrainian Catholic University, perceptions regarding SGM migration processes were explored. Four intersecting themes emerged: “Hierarchy of social problems,” “Institutional influence,” “Othering,” and “Society requiring change.” Analysis reveals the prevalent influence of cis-heteropatriarchy and colonialism on societal perceptions, contributing to SGM migrant victimization further. The study underscores the need to acknowledge and address these power structures to mitigate harm during migration. While providing no direct benefits to participants, the research enhances understanding of societal influences on SGM migrant experiences, facilitating future efforts to address structural oppression. Ethical considerations were paramount, ensuring participant confidentiality and minimising risks.
