"Dr S Chelvan’s participation in the EUAA Expert Panel on Evidence and Credibility Assessment on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity/Expression-based Claims offered over a hundred members of courts and tribunals from across the EU a great opportunity to learn more on the emotional journey, the non-conformity and the imputed convention pathway for LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers. His expertise is complemented by a most charismatic way of reaching his audience and imparting his extensive knowledge and experience on the topic." - Nicolas Jacobs, Head of the EUAA Courts and Tribunals Sector.
