Political/Social Environment

Resources assessing queer- and trans-friendliness in your country

  • “I can only speak to the capital, where I felt mostly safe. Later at night and outside of Palermo/Recoleta/Villa Crespo I would be careful if you present as non-binary or visually out of place. For me, that meant my nails, clothing, and skin color made me stick out, for which I got verbally harassed.” (Fulbrighter ‘18–‘19)

Legal

Laws that are accepting or discriminatory and legal resources specifically for LGBTQ persons

Housing

  • In Buenos Aires, “I would recommend getting an AirBNB or something for the initial month in the city then joining local facebook groups for housing. Living with other students around the same age is cost effective and generally lead to meeting housemates who were LGBTQ-friendly.” (Fulbrighter ‘18–‘19)
