LGBTQIA + REFUGEE CAMPAIGN
Our LGBTQIA+ Refugee campaign around our short film inspires education and further protection of queer refugees, 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 LGBTQIA+ 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

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.

EDUCATIONAL IMPACT CAMPAIGN
We partner with Universities in the UK and also the US to showcase our film. We provide a short questionnaire after the screening and receive feedback from the students, aimed at understanding their reflections on the film, their awareness of the legal and emotional challenges queer refugees face, and how the story may have shifted their perspective on these issues. Our film and Q&A session offer an opportunity for students to engage with real-world human rights issues, challenge assumptions, and develop an understanding of global refugee experiences.
