Eliana Rubashkyn Biography

Eliana Rubashkyn is one of the most popular and richest Chemist who was born on June 25, 1988 in Bogotá, statelessness. With the help of Amnesty International and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), she was granted refugee status. However, because Hong Kong is not a signatory of the 1951 refugee convention, it did not recognise her as a refugee and sought to deport her to Colombia.

In 2011 Rubashkyn obtained her degree in pharmacy and chemistry at the National University of Colombia., after studying molecular biology in the University of Granada she was granted a scholarship to develop postgraduate studies in public health at the Taipei Medical University, and started at the same time her gender transition in Taiwan.

Rubashkyn learned many languages fluently in the refugee centers she lived during 2012, 2013 and 2014.

On 16 December 2013, the UN passed a resolution recognising Rubashkyn as woman under the UNHCR refugee system. She became the first gender diverse person recognised as a woman in China or Hong Kong without having undergone a sex reassignment surgery.

Eliana Rubashkyn (born 25 June 1988) is a Colombian–born, former stateless, New Zealander, known internationally for being the first birth-assigned male intersex person legally recognised as a woman with a U.N. resolution under the international refugee statute.

Rubashkyn’s gender was recognised under the United Nations’ 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Rubashkyn’s case attracted international media and legal attention after her mistreatment following her detention at Hong Kong International Airport because of the lack of congruence between her gender identity and her passport photo, resulting in several years of statelessness in Hong Kong, and inhumane reclusion into several refuge centers across Yuen Long.

Rubashkyn was born in Colombia to a Ukrainian Jewish mother who had moved there in the 1970s. She was assigned and raised male but born with an intersex condition known as Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.

In 2013, the UN sought another country to resettle Eliana because of the lack of protections for LGBT people and refugees in Hong Kong. She refused to contact her home embassy to prevent deportation because of the lack of diplomatic assistance they offered and Eliana became stateless de facto from 30 October 2012. Eliana’s position as a refugee limited the contact she could have with authorities from the governments of Colombia.
