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

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.

Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out because things have been incredibly hard. I’ve been without food for three days here in the refugee camp, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult.
If anyone can help with food or any resources, even a small amount, it would mean more than I can express.
Thanks 🙏

I know the road we walk can often feel impossible.The challenges are real, and the hardships may seem unending.But in the face of all this, remember our strength.We have survived more than most can even imagine,and that resilience is proof of the power we carry within.

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence. Most likely,they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal, religious and gender violence are leading to flee
