The Netherlands teaches asylum seekers about gay and lesbian rights

The Dutch media reported today that the ministry of education has made a plan to provide educational material for asylum seekers on Gay and Lesbian rights. 

There has been several incidents in asylum seeker camps in which refugees insulted or attacked gay refugees. in one case COA (Central Organ for asylum seekers) had to relocate 5 gay man from Iran, Iraq and Syria to other locations due to safety issues. 

Education Minister Jet Bussemaker said:

“We must not be naive. Asylum seekers come from countries where women’s rights are not always respected, where gay rights are not a given. We are making it clear that discrimination is not tolerated”
