Whether in their home country, in transit, or in their host communities, LGBTIQ+ refugees and asylum-seekers are at high risk of sexual abuse, violence and exploitation.

Reports from El Fasher in Sudan are terrible: deadly attacks on civilians, horrifying accounts of ethnic targeting, people too fearful of checkpoints to even flee!

Deliberate violence on civilians must stop. Their right to seek safety must be respected. Ceasefire is needed now!

Civilians continue to pay the heavy price of the ongoing fighting in Sudan.

Each day the war continues, they’re robbed of the lives they’re entitled to and the future they deserve.

Enough.
