We are not a registered organisation or a Community Based organisation but rather a collective of advocates working hand in hand with our contacts in a Kenyan rural UNHCR refugee camp to strengthen, empower, and ensure safety and well-being of LGBTIQA+ refugee communities in there and we do it for non profit. We do this by supporting them with resources to pass them through their desperate times of shortage. We advocate for safe asylum and safe means to freedom.
They continue to face hate threats and intimidatons from fellow camp mates and Kenyan nationals for being who they are.
They don't play or go to school like other kids in the camp. They are diacriminsted, assulted, called names, bullied and teased for belonging to the lgbtiq community.
Due to the fact that they need to keep staying in large groups for their safety, they end up expereiencing poor living conditions like poor shelters, floods, disease outbreaks, hunger, and so much more.
They are targeted and killed by arson. Properties are destructed, shelters destroyed, lives lost, subjected to unhealing trauma, hopelessness and depression that eventually lead to suicidal ideations, acts and attempts.
These sexual abuses include sexual exploitations, rapes, where justice is denied on most of the cases.
Access is limited to proper medical sevices in the camp, living them with an inevitable option of seeking proper services in private health facilities.
Transgenders are stoned, discriminited, assulted, called names, threatened, targeted, undressed and sexually abused for being who they are.
