Gorom Queers 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ refugees and asylum seekers often face unique challenges, including discrimination, displacement, and limited access to basic necessities. Every person deserves safety, dignity, and hope, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Together, we can raise awareness and support those seeking a safer future.

We face shortages of food, clean water, shelter, medicine, and basic hygiene supplies. As queer refugees, we are also vulnerable to isolation, stigma, and insecurity. Some members of our community sleep hungry, lack proper medical care, and live without the dignity and protection every human being deserves.

Today, we are reaching out to kind-hearted people and well-wishers around the world to ask for your support. Your donation to our GoFundMe campaign can help provide emergency food, safe shelter, clothing, medical assistance, and other essential needs for vulnerable LGBTQ+ refugees in the camp.

No amount is too small. Every contribution brings hope and reminds us that we are not forgotten. If you are unable to donate, please help by sharing our campaign with others who may be willing to support us.

We believe in a future where every person can live safely and freely, regardless of who they are or who they love. Until then, your compassion can help us survive and rebuild our lives.

Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. Your kindness means more than words can express.

Many of us have fled violence, rejection, imprisonment, and persecution simply for being who we are. Instead of finding safety, we are now facing hunger, lack of shelter, untreated illness, discrimination, and daily fear inside the camp.

We go days without enough food. Some of us sleep without mattresses, blankets, or proper protection from rain and heat. Access to medicine, hygiene products, and safe spaces is extremely limited. Many of us have no family support and nowhere else to turn.

We are human beings who deserve dignity, safety, and hope.

We are asking kind people around the world to help support us, the LGBTQ+ refugees in Gorom refugee camp, with:

🏳️‍🌈 Food and clean water

🏳️‍🌈 Shelter and bedding

🏳️‍🌈 Medical care and hygiene supplies

🏳️‍🌈 Clothing and basic necessities

🏳️‍🌈 Emergency support

Every donation, every reblog, and every share can help someone survive another day.

Every human being deserves safety, dignity, food, shelter, and hope yet many LGBTQ refugees living in Gorom Refugee Camp are struggling every single day just to survive.

These brave individuals have fled violence, discrimination, family rejection, imprisonment, and life-threatening persecution simply because of who they are. They escaped seeking safety, but instead many now face extreme poverty, hunger, homelessness, lack of medical care, and continued discrimination inside the refugee camp.

Many LGBTQ refugees in Gorom Refugee Camp go days without proper meals. Some sleep without blankets, mattresses, or safe shelter. Access to clean water, hygiene supplies, healthcare, and basic protection remains painfully limited. Many are unemployed, isolated, and left without support systems.

This GoFundMe campaign is a lifeline.

Your donation will help provide:

• Emergency food supplies

• Safe shelter and rent support

• Clean drinking water

• Medical care and life-saving medications

• Sanitary and hygiene products

• Clothing, blankets, and mattresses

• Mental health and trauma support

• Protection for those facing violence and abuse

No amount is too small. Even $5 can help provide a meal. $20 can support hygiene and medical needs. $50 or more can help provide shelter and urgent protection.

Your kindness can mean the difference between survival and despair.

These refugees are not asking for luxury they are asking for the basic human rights everyone deserves: to eat, to sleep safely, to receive medical care, and to live without fear.

Please stand with LGBTQ refugees in Gorom Refugee Camp. Donate today, share this campaign, and help restore hope to people who have already lost so much.

Together, we can remind them that they are not forgotten.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and humanity.

LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers in South Sudan and Sudan face a double burden: fleeing war, violence, and persecution only to face more discrimination because of who they are.

Many escaped countries like Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Democratic Republic of the Congo where being LGBTQ+ can mean rejection, violence, or prison. In places like Gorom Refugee Settlement, safety is still uncertain.

“We are refugees, but also targets.”

They struggle with: ❗ Lack of food and shelter

❗ Violence and harassment

❗ Limited access to healthcare

❗ Discrimination in refugee camps

❗ No safe path to asylum or protection

South Sudan currently hosts more than 600,000 refugees and asylum seekers, with the majority being Sudanese refugees fleeing conflict.

Many LGBTQ+ refugees report being excluded even inside protection systems, living in silence and fear. Their stories are often ignored during global refugee discussions.

🏳️‍🌈 Refugee rights are LGBTQ+ rights.

🏳️‍⚧️ Safety should not depend on identity.

❤️ No one should have to choose between persecution and survival.

‎We are a group of LGBTIQ+ refugees struggling to survive in Sudan. Every day, we face unimaginable persecution, violence, and rejection. On top of this, we are battling severe shortages of food, medical care, and shelter.

‎Hunger is a daily reality. Many of us go days without food, and medical assistance is nearly impossible to access. Our shelters are small and inadequate, leaving us exposed to harsh conditions. For lesbians, even basic sanitary products are out of reach.

‎With your help, we can change this. Your donation will go directly toward food, medication, and urgently needed tents to provide safe shelter. No amount is too small every dollar makes a difference in our survival.

‎🌍 Please donate today and be part of our fight for survival. Your kindness can help improve and even

We have been stranded here, trapped in a homophobic environment for a long time, facing starvation, rejection, discrimination, verbal and physical attacks, and a lack of medical care. Many of our mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers disowned us and distanced themselves from us. With no one else to turn to, we are reaching out to you for support.

‎

‎We take this opportunity to thank every single person who has donated to us and shared our message. Your kindness is the reason we are able to get food, medication, and other basic needs here in the camp. Without your support, surviving would be almost impossible.

‎However, many of us are still in Gorom refugee camp, facing daily hardship, fear, and uncertainty. We are still struggling, but we hold on to hope that one day we too will have a chance to live in safety and dignity.

‎We humbly ask for your continued support. Every single dollar truly saves lives. Thank you for standing with us, for believing in us, and for helping us survive during these very difficult times.

Life in Gorom refugee camp is quite challenging with regard to accessing basic human needs. On several days, we have had to go to bed on an empty stomach. Most of us lack a support system because the people who are supposed to offer us support, our family and friends, rejected us due to our sexualities.

Please donate to our fundraiser to help us access basic needs:
