Supporting LGBTQI+ people through the asylum and immigration system
Celebrating the achievements of 2024
What we do
We provide practical and emotional support for LGBTQI+ people seeking asylum to help improve their confidence and self-esteem and reduce isolation. We provide specialist legal information and advice, and campaign to improve the treatment of people seeking asylum.
We also provide legal advice and information to LGBTQI+ people who want to live in the UK with their partners.
"It wasn’t easy but I stayed strong"
My name is Dona. I’m from Cameroon. I’m the youngest of 15 children. My father would threaten all of us with death if any of us were homosexual.
No Pride in Detention
LGBTQI+ people are not safe in immigration detention. Join our campaign for an end to LGBTQI+ detention.
