Spanish authorities lack official data on LGBTQ+ migrants among those who entered Ceuta in late July. Many asylum seekers cite their sexual orientation to avoid returning to Morocco, where homosexuality is criminalized. Individuals like Tima and Jasmina share their experiences of persecution in Morocco, prompting their asylum requests. The Spanish government emphasizes the need for objective criteria in asylum applications, with a significant number of recent claims citing sexual orientation persecution. However, only a small fraction of these claims have been granted refugee status. The process for asylum evaluation is complex, requiring substantial documentation and interviews to establish credible fear of persecution.
