Across the region, many LGBTQ+ people are forced to leave their countries because of criminalization, persecution, and threats to their lives. In some places, same-sex relationships are still punishable by severe penalties, even death.

For those who reach countries like Kenya or Uganda, safety is not guaranteed. Refugee camps such as Kakuma have seen reports of discrimination, attacks, and tensions affecting LGBTQ+ residents, even as humanitarian agencies try to improve protection.

Recent years have also seen more people fleeing harsh laws like Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act pushing queer individuals to seek asylum across borders, often into already strained systems.

Beyond physical safety, queer refugees face isolation, lack of healthcare, limited legal protection, and mental health challenges shaped by both displacement and identity-based trauma.

And yet, across East Africa, queer refugee communities continue to organize, support each other, and demand dignity, visibility, and rights.

Queer refugees are not just statistics they are people seeking the same thing anyone would: safety, belonging, and the freedom to live openly.

🏳️‍🌈 Their stories matter. Their safety matters. Their rights matter.

This is what happens when there is little to no media coverage for a country going through a genocide over the past 3 years! Not only people are surviving displacement, famine and violence, but they are at high risk of infection by diseases!

It is devastating since hospitals are overflowing with patients and have been losing access to electricity, depending on solar energy for power! One hospital has to use light from cell phones to conduct surgery but the patient has died! So I ask you to please talk about Sudan! We need to boycott the UAE, donate to fundraisers and grassroots organizations and protest in the streets!

Consider helping Eman (@emiiii980). She is raising funds for her family, but we have not achieved the goal, so she has returned with a new fundraiser! She is also supporting other families, as well! So kindly give her what you can and share with everyone you know! You can also match me! I have given $10 CAD ($7 USD), but you are more than welcome to give any amount! [A friendly reminder to keep in mind with the currency exchange! $10 USD = $13 CAD!].

Her fundraiser has been shared by @/el-shab-hussein here.

Please donate here.

This is the equivalent to camp executions the Nazis did. It's exactly the same thing

The Sameer Project has established a community bakery in Gaza, providing free bread every day to families enduring mass displacement and ongoing violence. It is made possible by your support. With your continued help, they can reach even more people in need.

wanted to try drawing in the style of the interview with the vampire manga (original is by Udoh Shinohara)
