🌍 LGBTIQ people face rejection & denied rights while governments stay silent on cartels, murderers & robbers who roam free. 🏳️‍🌈 Love is love — it harms no one. Everyone deserves safety, asylum & dignity. ✊ #LoveIsLove #LGBTIQRights

Let's raise our voices for the LGBT community facing unimaginable challenges. Many flee their homes seeking safety, only to encounter the same horrors in supposed haven countries, especially in parts of Africa & the Arab world.
We must fight homophobia & reject leaders who perpetuate this suffering

Life is cheap. Anyone who has been through Libya onto Europe has told me it is hell, hell isn’t even a word to describe it, it ruins people completely.
Humanity must never turn a blind eye. If this image doesn't stir your soul, reflect—compassion defines us. #EndHumanTrafficking #RefugeesInLibya
If this picture doesn’t haunt your consciousness in this 2025 then you need a serious distance from identifying as human.

This is Naima Jamal from Ethiopia who is now being sold and held captive for $6.000 in Libya. This applies to those behind her too

I have decided to step down from my panel at the Oxford Literary Festival. I hoped to celebrate and share queer stories + highlight the long history of LGBTQ+ lives. Gutted that voices will now be absent, but I stand in solidarity with my trans friends and writers. As the mollies say #AlwaysTogether

It is very difficult to establish the number of LGBTIQ refugees in Kenya, as most are in the closet or living double lives in heterosexual relationships due to societal stigma.
