LGBTQAI + REFUGEE CAMPAIGN
We are building an LGBTQIA+ Refugee campaign around a short film to show how creativity and the arts can drive policy change, in partnership with leading NGOs and advocates.
Queer refugees in the UK face a unique set of challenges, such as fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, only to encounter further barriers within the asylum system, housing, and integration processes. Thankfully, several dedicated organizations work tirelessly to provide safety, advocacy, and community for LGBTQI+ people seeking refuge. This guide highlights three leading UK-based NGOs - Rainbow Migration, Micro Rainbow, and Say It Loud Club - offering practical ways for supporters to get involved and vital information for queer refugees seeking support. Whether you’re looking to help or in need of help, these resources can make a meaningful difference.
COLLABORATIONS
We have had successful collaborative conversations with Rainbow Migration and Micro Rainbow to see how we can work together through the film, the campaign, and their missions in aiding LGBTQ+ Refugees and Asylum seekers in the UK.
They support LGBTQI+ people who are in the UK seeking asylum, providing practical, emotional and legal support. They also carry out campaigning and influencing work to try to improve the asylum system for LGBTQI+ people. They have helped people from over 100 countries.
They offer a very holistic approach to supporting emotional well-being, housing and food needs, and basic rights for LGBTQIA+ Refugees and asylum seekers. They perform legal work, and advocacy work, and offer social and economic inclusion programs.
