My name is Ricky. I am a proud transgender woman, and I live in Gorom Settlement Camp in South Sudan as a human rights defender, activist and Trans advocant.
Fleeing from persecution from our home countries, we thought we would find peace but life in exile has been full of struggle. Every day, we face discrimination, hunger, and fear simply because of who we are. There are days we go without food, nights we sleep in fear, and moments when we wonder how much longer we can survive.
As a transgender refugee, we don’t have access to stable Shelters, Medication like getting Hormones for the Trans genders and ARVs for HIV positive patients or even the basic human dignity many take for granted. But I keep going because I still have hope.
I’m humbly asking for your support. Your help means food on our plates, safety for our body, and a chance to live with pride and dignity.
Please, stand with us. Share our story. Donate if you can. Help us survive, not just as a refugee, but as a human being who deserves love, respect, and life.
