We survived the deadline but we are not safe.
Yesterday, May 23rd, was the government’s deadline for all LGBTQ+ refugees to leave the settlement. We are still here, stranded, frightened, and uncertain of what will happen next. We’ve heard nothing yet, but officials made it clear: when they act, the UNHCR will not be there to protect us.
We are living in constant fear, unsure of our fate. Some of us are trembling, crying quietly in corners, praying for help, hoping someone out there still cares.
We found a small place in Juba city a landlord agreed to rent it for $1,500 USD for 3 months. It could be a safe temporary shelter for us. But so far, we’ve only raised $265.
Please, I beg you share our story, remind others, speak our names. We’re not just refugees. We are humans, trans, queer, and trying to survive another day. The clock is still ticking.
We need your support now more than ever. Link to the fundraiser
