LGBT+ Afghan activists Maeve Alcina Pieescu, Maryam Ravish, and Parwen Hussaini had big dreams of starting a new life in Europe. Sadly, nefarious forces conspired against them. But, not all is lost. The soul that desires freedom will never give up. #WeAreAfghanLGBTQ

Why can’t these lovers—Parwen Hussaini and Maryam Ravish—live in peace and harmony?

Their families, Afghan society, and the Taliban stand in their way of being alive and happy.

Parwen is hiding in Iran and Maryam is held in a prison in Kabul. #WeAreAfghanLGBTQ

Arezo Kazimi, a Lesbian Hazara Afghan, is approaching her one year anniversary in Oman. We obtained Arezo’s residency visa, paid for her plane ticket, and provided for her living expenses. May Arezo’s quest for freedom inspire other refugee women. #WeAreAfghanLGBTQ
