Fantastic blog on the challenges facing transgender refugees from Adrian Kibe
I'm proud of this work with partners on gender and sexual diversity + forced migration in East Africa. Our guest blogger, Adrian Kibe, demonstrates intersectionality in practice. Stay tuned for more along these lines in the coming months.

Hi @rioferdy5. There’s a playground on the Friary Estate where you grew up that was vandalised last year. It’s been cordoned off to kids for 18 months by @lb_southwark. Can you help?

IIED is at the WUF in Poland!
IIED's @lucyurbanearle responds to questions in the #WUF11 room: It's critical to integrate #migrants into cities, and city govts are at the frontline. It's crucial to include migrants in spaces where they feel comfortable to express their concerns. -->
