Help us end LGBTIQA+ displacement
LGBTIQA+ displacement doesn’t simply end when a border is crossed or even a visa is granted. It continues when a person faces discrimination, violence, and a lack of support in a country that promised refuge. LGBTIQA+ displacement ends when people find true safety, belonging and a welcoming home.
As an organisation led by LGBTIQA+ refugees, we work to make a systemic change and end LGBTIQA+ displacement.
What we are up against
LGBTIQA+ displaced people face ongoing discrimination and violence, not just in their home countries but also throughout the asylum process and resettlement, already in Australia.
Sadly, many settlement services lack the understanding and support that LGBTIQA+ displaced individuals require, leaving them isolated and not supported.
Some still hide who they are and who they love out of fear.
Our solution
We believe that LGBTIQA+ forcibly displaced individuals deserve to thrive and be supported.
To achieve this, we need to enhance the ability of settlement and social services to provide inclusive, effective support and empowering LGBTIQA+ individuals to navigate their new lives successfully. We also need to work with the government to ensure that all policies are inclusive of LGBTIQA+ displaced experience. We have the knowledge and community to achieve this, but we need your help and sustainable resourcing.

- Improve services by training providers to offer inclusive care for LGBTIQA+ forcibly displaced people.
