Abstract

Disasters force people out of secure spaces and social relationships into public places such as refuges and evacuation centres where privacy is reduced. People who identify as members of minority groups in society, such as LGBTQ people, rely on privacy for security. Thus, their vulnerability as members of a community minority is increased during disaster and recovery and may be exacerbated by overt prejudice and discrimination.
