It is the responsibility of the state of the person’s country of origin to offer effective protection. Where applicable, the Home Office’s country policy and information notes include references to non-governmental organisation support that may be available to LGBT persons in countries of origin. This uses evidence taken from a range of sources such as local, national and international organisations, including human rights organisations, information from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and trusted media outlets.
