Rainbow Migration is 30!
This year marks a significant milestone for us as we proudly celebrate three decades of supporting LGBTQI+ people through the immigration and asylum system.
Celebrating 30 years together!
In the 90s, a group of lesbian, gay and bisexual couples, and their lawyers, campaigned to make it possible for the partner of a British citizen in a same sex relationship to remain in the UK. This was how Rainbow Migration was originally formed.
Since then, we’ve continued to campaign for the right of LGBTQI+ people to rebuild their lives free from homophobia, biphobia and/or transphobia here in the UK.
The stories of those who have been involved with us
"Rainbow Migration has a lot to celebrate!"
They are on the right side of history. While rights are consistently under threat, in the UK, and the rest of the world, we will always fight to protect LGBTQI+ people who are seeking safety.
"We weren't just campaigners"
I’ve been involved with the organisation for 25 years. I’d met the person who was to become my life partner, from Thailand, and we were looking at ways to stay together.
"Working at Rainbow Migration means a lot to me"
I love being part of it. Supporting LGBTQI+ refugees alongside such a great team really gives me something to feel good about.
"I'd like to celebrate all the support you gave me"
Rainbow Migration helped me with my case. Thanks to all that support, today I am here, safe, and with a stable, peaceful and happy life.
