For too long, we’ve been told to be quiet, to make others comfortable at the expense of our own truth. Now, it’s about living openly and unapologetically. We deserve to exist fully, just as we are, without shame or restraint.

We left our homes not just for safety, but for the right to exist. Strangers in foreign lands, carrying the weight of rejection, they search for kindness in a world that often turns away. No country, no family,just the hope that somewhere, someone will see us as human.

Homophobes are lucky that all we seek is freedom and equality,not revenge. Despite years of oppression, discrimination, and violence. Imagine if we treated you the way you treated us. But we won’t, because we believe in justice, not vengeance. #LoveWins #EqualityForAll

Everyone deserves to live with dignity and respect, free to be themselves. Let’s continue working toward a world where that’s not just an ideal but a reality for all.

In Kakuma refugee camp, LGBTQ+ individuals face an uphill battle for acceptance, safety, and dignity. Their struggles are often ignored, and they endure harsh discrimination, exclusion, and violence from both the community and authorities. as the world outside remains indifferent to their plight.

Amidst the silence of exile, LGBTQ refugees in Kakuma yearn for the dignity and safety every human deserves. Your support can be the lifeline they need to turn despair into hope.

Home was where I was supposed to feel safe. Instead, I had to run from it just to survive.

The hardest journey is not the miles traveled but carrying the weight of rejection wherever you go.

LGBTQ+ individuals deserve the same respect, dignity, and love as everyone else. We all have the power to create a safer, more inclusive environment by challenging harmful stereotypes, speaking out against discrimination, and educating ourselves and others.
