Urgent Plea for Advocacy: Lesbians in Kakuma Refugee Camp Need Security and Protection

Dear Advocates, Organizations, and Human Rights Defenders,

In the shadows of discrimination, hate, and assault, we, a group of lesbians in Kakuma Refugee Camp, are reaching out for urgent support and advocacy. The challenges we face daily have led to feelings of despair and desperation, prompting us to seek your assistance.

We implore you to stand with us in urging UNHCR and DRS to take immediate action to enhance our security and protection. Our community deserves the right to live free from fear and prejudice.

Share this message, donate,raise awareness, advocate,boost, reblog and let our voices be heard. Together, let's strive for a future where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, can find safety and acceptance. 🏳️‍🌈

Please spare anything even if it's little to save innocent lives of lesbians from selling off their bodies to get access for food and pads plus others using of dirty clothes or polythene bags during period time due to lack of access to pads hence can lead them to sexually transmitted diseases.

Remember every coin you spare is Worthy to save innocent lives of lesbians to get access for pads

I will keep looking for my freedom as a queer.

Because life in a refugee camp is not sweet and favorable to my life at all

[that-one-empty-skull]

Hey guys, now that the billionaire tincan imploded and we've got our last goofs out, maybe we can shift the conversation to focus on the thousands of refugees that needlessly drown in the Mediterranean sea every year due to racist border policies.

In addition to taking local political action you might want to donate to Sea-Eye - a NGO that runs rescue missions in the central Mediterranean and also organizes political camapigns to tackle the EU's institutional racism.

You can also take a look at Leave No One Behind, which showcases and supports a wide number of smaller to medium sized projects that help out people looking for refuge in Europe.

Feel free to add other ressources and projects you feel need more support!

Dono post, trying my luck u_u

just double and triple checked and my posts aren't showing up on any tags anymore hmmm... i redid some settings but if it keeps up ill probably send a support ticket

it's only problematic for me cause im broke as shit and STILL have no welfare benefits after living here as a refugee for nearly a year. promoting my art/commissions is the only way I can hope to get any money now since my severe PTSD symptoms keeps me from leaving the house. I have people helping me with rent and groceries but I can't rely on them forever, and if I do I'm worried it might fuck up my benefits application somehow.

If you see this post and would like to support me somehow:

My ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/iteveit I also have a twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/iteveit which I try and promote my work through. Honestly just having company there chatting with me while I draw does wonders to my mental health.

I'll eventually put up a proper commission format on my ko-fi page but any donos will get a sketch from me for now. Money will go to my medication expenses, and living necessities. Any small amount will help.

So on point. So brilliant. So real.

Same thing happens with the entire continent of Africa.

People are so desensitized to black and african pain that it's just "normal", inherent to them.

Africa has always been poor, underdeveloped and suffering, right? and they have the nerve to flee their homelands and go to europe in search of a better life!! how dare they?? it's completely their fault, isn't it?? it has nothing to do with past and present colonialism and brutal exploitation right????

Free Palestine, free the entire Middle East, free Congo and Sudan and every country that suffers from the consequences of genocides, imperalism and colonial brutality.

Stand with the refugees and inmigrants, now and always.

Please, please constantly challenge and reject the narrative that any region is naturally more prone to war than any other, like that's a characteristic inherent to its make-up, like that's geographically assigned risk the same way an area can be earthquake-prone or hurricane-prone.

There has never been a utopia on Earth and nowhere is entirely free of conflict, but this disastrous scale of violence inflicted upon the SWANA region is a deliberate and calculated effort of destabilization by Western powers who want to bleed the region dry. It's not an immutable part of the contour of the land that its people must adapt to and live with. It can be stopped and should be stopped. These people were once free and can be freed again.

Every time you see someone hand-waving a crisis at this scale as "conflict in the Middle East" it is an abominable tool to dehumanize Arabs to the point where nobody bats an eye at the death of their children.

Examine what that phrase means. What is a "conflict in the Middle East"? What happens in Yemen isn't what happens in Morocco isn't what happens in Palestine isn't what happens in Iraq, but this catch-all term is meant to translate in your mind into "problems are happening where problems are always happening", because of course they are! Conflict in the Middle East? What else is new, clouds in the sky? Fish in the sea? It lulls you into apathy; Arabs are dying - but that's what they do, don't they?

And so three goals of the perpetrators of this violence are achieved. First, they wash their hands from it; they didn't set the place on fire, it was already like this when they got there! Second, does it even matter whose fault it is? Who cares about a dead brown child anyway? Who's counting the death toll? Third, since this is an unchangeable quality of their region, and has nothing to do with the West, why protest it? Why fight for them? Why demand anything out of Western leaders?

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ!!

Mona (@mohammedshehabtt) has reached out to me to share new info with you all. She needs to buy two tents for herself and her mother and father. The cost of the two tents is $3,000. It’s now winter in Gaza and the conditions are horrible. Mona, her husband, her parents, and her two young daughters have no shelter to keep out of the cold and rain. These tents are essential to their survival. Please donate if you can, no amount is too small. So far, they have only raised 2k out of their 30k goal. We can help them reach their short term goal of $3,000 with your help. Please, please consider donating. Even a few bucks will help get them closer to their goal. Sharing this post is also incredibly helpful.

Thank you ❤️

(This campaign is #111 on this list of vetted fundraisers)

Facing the Struggle as a Queer Transgender Refugees. We Need Your Help. 🌈

Hi there,

I'm AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and today I’m sorry this might feel random, and I didn’t mean to come to you like this but I'm reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is incredibly harsh for our LGBTIQ community. We’re facing extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter. Each day is a fight for survival, and without basic necessities, it’s getting harder to hold on.

It’s difficult to ask for help, but we have no choice. We’re in a dire situation, and we need your support to make it through. Your donation, no matter the size, can provide life-saving essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. Without your kindness, we are left vulnerable, struggling to survive.

If you’re able, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe⬇️🙏

https://gofund.me/4d80b32c

Your generosity could truly make the difference between life and death.

I also ask you to visit my blog, reblog my post, and share our story to help us spread awareness. The more people know about our struggle, the more help we can get. You can be part of amplifying our voices when we have been silenced for so long.

I know it’s hard to ask for money, but we are in desperate need. We can’t survive this alone, and we rely on the compassion of those who can offer even a small bit of help.

Thank you for your time, for caring, and for sharing this journey with us. Your support is everything.

With deep gratitude,

AshleymilesPhil

Though I can't pay for this rn, i will post this for the people who can support you!!

read and reblog please

I want to make sure this information gets through to everyone: the racist genocidal German state could deport Bilal @bilal-salah0 within the next week, after he lost his job and home, heaping cruelty after cruelty onto this young man who has been working nonstop to provide for his family facing genocide in Gaza.

he's supporting 18 people there, including 8 kids under age 16. now Bilal needs to finish fundraising for his family before August 15th when he could be deported. that's one week from today.

Bilal needs to raise €25000 in the next 7 days to make sure his family has enough to survive if he can no longer fundraise. Bilal shared this dire news with us on Tuesday, but in spite of thousands of notes on @malcriada, @appsa, and others' posts about the situation, the campaign received only €3650 in the last two days.

it seems like people are somehow not seeing the urgency and severity of the situation. donations also slowed over the past week because Bilal couldn't be online to promote the campaign, and because of the recent racist attacks against fundraising efforts here. there's a lot of ground to make up and very little time, but we can do it. please donate any amount you can, those €5s add up if enough people help. reblog this as well as the posts linked above, and tell your friends and social media outside tumblr. and most importantly, seriously, please donate whatever you can. we need to come through for Bilal's family now, not later. please take this seriously, please help them.

August 8th: €75,467 / €100,000

Fellow Activists we need your voice and donation

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Kenya face significant challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Sodomy is prohibited in Kenya, punishable by 21 years' imprisonment, and any sexual practices (termed "gross indecency") are a felony of the same statute, punishable by 5 years' imprisonment. On 24 May 2019, the High Court of Kenya refused an order to declare same sex marriage. The state does not recognise any relationships between persons of the same sex; same-sex marriage is banned under the Kenyan Constitution since 2010. There are no explicit protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Adoption is restricted to heterosexual couples only.

Expressions of homosexuality are illegal under Kenyan statutes and carry a maximum penalty of 14 years' imprisonment to 21 years in certain aggravating circumstances. Sex acts between women are mentioned under the gender-neutral term person and are enforced equally. Indeed, Prime Minister Raila Odinga in November 2010 called on for them to be arrested along with gay men.

LGBTQ migrants "asylum seeker and refugees" living in Kenya and continue to be at risk since the host community has stood firm on their decision to eliminate whoever practicing sodomy as stated.
