Country of Decision: Greece
Country of Applicant: Bangladesh
Keywords: Refugee Status, Residence document, Vulnerable person
The recognition of gender identity is a matter of respect towards the individual’s personality, protected under Greek and international law and applicable by analogy to refugees. Refugees must be able to request assistance from the authorities of the host-country, as refugeehood entails severed ties with the country of origin making it impossible for recognised refugees to request official actions from their governments.
