Thanks. I'm a person who fled persecution and left my six bedroom house and a shop inorder to save my life in 2020.
When I fled I went to Kenya were i requested UNHCR to provide me with protect and they took me to their camp called kakuma refugee camp. When I reached there the truth was there was no protection just to see fellow refugees being killed by my naked eyes and no UNHCR came to solve the situations.
I live a life full of discrimination, attacks, isolations, torture and the worse was starvation and most of the times I used to take porridge and water with my friends not only that but also to get medication it was very hard because all the doctors were homophobic to our sexual identities.
The insecurities were many and we decided to call for a dialogue meeting with UNHCR and the government of Kenya. This was in 2023 December. Disappointingly what they told us was in human. "The government told us that they had no room for queer refugees in their country 'Kenya"... This forced us queers to look for another nearby county that would accept us to be host refugees and that was South Sudan.
All of us are now here in Sudan in gorom refugee settlement camp.
What makes us annoyed is that what we thought to get safety was wrong only to find that is again worse that Kenya. The levels of in humanity here are on high levels. This is why I reach out and spread awareness so that we can get support and advocacy. Any kind of support can make a turn to help us from suffering. Thank you everyone ❤️
I need to prove a point to my stepdad. This is absolute bullshit.
So if you think a trans man can be a man without a penis or a trans woman can be a woman without a vagina, please reblogged.

Hello everyone
I'm called Birasa, a transgender queer refugee, and I come to you with a heavy heart today. I’m part of a community of LGBTIQ refugees who are facing unimaginable challenges. Life in the camp is beyond difficult. We have almost no access to food, clean water, medication, or even proper shelter. Every day feels like a battle for survival, and despite our resilience, the lack of basic necessities is pushing us to the brink.It feels embarrassing to ask for help, honestly. I hate it. But the truth is, we’re vulnerable and we need support. Without the kindness of people like you, we are left to starve. We depend on the generosity of well-wishers just to get through the day. Lately, the donations we’ve received have been scarce, and right now, we are at a critical point. We need your help, now more than ever. Your donation can make the difference between life and death for us. No matter how small, it helps provide food, water, medical care, and shelter for us. If you can, please contribute to our GoFundMe fundraiser and help us survive this dire situation.I know asking for money feels wrong, and it’s hard to come forward like this, but the reality is, we are desperate. We can’t do it alone, and we’re relying on the compassion of those who can lend a hand.Thank you for reading and for caring. Your support means everything to us thank you ❤️ hopefully
For members of the LGBTIQ community living in refugee camps, the struggle for freedom and acceptance is particularly acute. Refugee camps are often places where the basic needs of safety and security are prioritized, but they can also become environments where discrimination and persecution continue, sometimes even within the camp itself.
The quest for freedom for LGBTIQ individuals in refugee camps encompasses several critical aspects:
1. **Safety and Protection**: LGBTIQ refugees often face heightened risks of violence and abuse. Ensuring that camps have clear policies and procedures to protect against discrimination and violence is crucial. This includes training for staff and providing safe spaces for individuals.
2. **Access to Services**: Adequate access to medical, psychological, and legal support tailored to the needs of LGBTIQ individuals is essential. This support should address both general health and specific needs related to gender identity and sexual orientation.
3. **Legal Recognition and Rights**: Advocating for legal recognition of LGBTIQ individuals’ rights within the refugee camp system can help ensure that their needs are met and that they are treated with dignity and respect. This includes recognition of gender identity and protection against discrimination.
4. **Community and Solidarity**: Building a supportive network within the camp can provide emotional and practical support. Connecting with allies and forming support groups can help create a more inclusive environment and offer a sense of belonging.
5. **Advocacy and Awareness**: Raising awareness about the challenges faced by LGBTIQ refugees can drive changes in policies and attitudes both within the camps and in the broader international community. Advocacy efforts can help push for systemic changes and improvements in conditions.
6. **Education and Empowerment**: Providing educational opportunities and resources for LGBTIQ individuals in refugee camps can empower them to advocate
