Violence against sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals has continued to proliferate globally. Yet, less is known about victimization among subgroups of SGM individuals, especially SGM immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. There has been a steady increase in this vulnerable group of migrants over the years, and emerging evidence has pointed to their heightened risk of victimization. We conducted a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature that examined violence, abuse, and mental health among SGM individuals who migrate internationally. One hundred ninety-nine articles were identified by searching five scholarly databases and hand searching. Twenty-six articles met inclusion criteria. We first used the migration framework, which outlines the distinct phases of the migration trajectory (predeparture, travel, interception, destination, and return), to categorize findings and then identified four overarching themes to capture SGM migrants’ experiences at each phase: severe and prolonged violence and abuse related to sexual orientation or gender identity (predeparture); continued victimization and high-risk for sexual violence (travel); detainment- and deportation-related violence and abuse (interception and return); and new manifestations of violence and abuse while living with past trauma (destination). Violence and abuse began in childhood and continued in the host country, where they faced discrimination while managing posttraumatic stress disorder and depression. Findings indicate that SGM migrants are extremely vulnerable to victimization. There is an immediate need for policies to protect SGM individuals worldwide and for affirmative, culturally informed practices to help SGM migrants manage trauma and the structural barriers impeding recovery.

跨迁移轨迹的性和性别少数移民中的暴力和虐待经历的范围审查

针对性少数群体和性别少数群体 (SGM) 的暴力行为在全球范围内继续激增。然而,对 SGM 个人亚群,尤其是 SGM 移民、难民和寻求庇护者的受害情况知之甚少。多年来,这一弱势移民群体稳步增加,新出现的证据表明他们受害的风险增加。我们对同行评议的文献进行了范围审查,这些文献检查了国际移民的 SGM 个人的暴力、虐待和心理健康。通过搜索五个学术数据库和手动搜索确定了 199 篇文章。26 篇文章符合纳入标准。我们首先使用了迁移框架,它概述了迁移轨迹的不同阶段(出发前、旅行、拦截、目的地、与性取向或性别认同相关的严重且长期的暴力和虐待(出发前)持续受害和性暴力的高风险(旅行)与拘留和驱逐有关的暴力和虐待(拦截和遣返);以及在过去的创伤中生活的暴力和虐待的新表现(目的地). 暴力和虐待始于童年,并在东道国继续存在,在那里他们在处理创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症时面临歧视。调查结果表明,SGM 移民极易受害。迫切需要制定保护全球 SGM 个人的政策,并采取积极的、具有文化意义的做法来帮助 SGM 移民管理创伤和阻碍康复的结构性障碍。
