Recently, Dr. Su’s research has been focused on LGBTQ+ Venezuelan asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in Brazil and Colombia. Conducting extensive fieldwork in refugee camps, LGBT refugee centres and encampments in Brazil and Colombia, her research is focused on identifying the protection gaps that LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and undocumented migrants face, especially high-risk groups such as trans Venezuelan asylum seeker sex workers and queer indigenous displaced peoples from Venezuela. These groups are at much higher risk of extreme violence, exploitation and human trafficking and are often overlooked in humanitarian and government responses. A core objective of her research is to empower Venezuelan LGBTQ+ asylum seekers by illuminating their experiences through my research and working alongside them to co-produce policy recommendations for humanitarian organizations and governments to better meet their unique needs.
