The Queering Atrocity Prevention project is the first research and policy project on the intersections between mass atrocity crimes (genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity) and the ways that LGBTQI+ people are targeted during these episodes. Existing research and policy projects on the prevention of mass atrocity crimes did not consider the specific vulnerabilities that queer people have during, and in the lead up, to mass atrocity crimes.
