A transgender Refugee's Story from Gorom Camp My name is birasa and I am a queer refugee living in Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan. Life in the camp is very difficult. Every day, I struggle to access basic needs such as food, clean water, healthcare, and safe shelter. As an LGBTQ+ person, I face additional challenges, including discrimination, isolation, and fear for my safety. Despite these hardships, I continue to hope for a better future for myself and others in my community. As a community leader, I do my best to support fellow LGBTQ+ refugees who are also facing hardship. Together, we try to create a safe and supportive environment, but our resources are very limited. We need help to meet our basic needs and build a safer future. Any support, whether through donations, sharing our story, or raising awareness, can make a meaningful difference in our lives. Thank you for standing with us and giving us hope. ❤️ https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-lgbtiq-refugees-in-gorom-camp-south-sudan
Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to respond. I understand that opportunities for resettlement are very limited. Here, I live in a small space with other transgender refugees, and we do our best to support one another.
Some Canadian groups are helping a few refugees relocate, but the number of people they can assist is very small. For now, I continue to wait and hope for an opportunity in the future.
In the meantime, my biggest challenge is meeting basic needs such as food and shelter so that I can remain in a place where I feel safer and face less risk of persecution. Any support, sharing of my story, or assistance would mean a great deal to me.
Thank you again for your compassion and support.

We are a group of LGBTQ+ refugees living in Gorom refugee camp in South Sudan. Every day, many of us face discrimination, harassment, homophobia, and transphobia from both fellow refugees and members of the host community. Because of our sexual orientations and gender identities, we are often denied access to opportunities, services, and support that others receive.
We continue to live in fear of attacks, exclusion, and persecution while struggling to meet our basic needs, including food, shelter, healthcare, and safety.
We urgently call upon human rights advocates, LGBTQ+ organizations, allies, and compassionate individuals around the world to stand with us. Your advocacy can help amplify our voices, and your donations can help provide essential support for our survival and well being.
Every act of solidarity makes a difference. Together, we can create hope, dignity, and a safer future for LGBTQ+ refugees in Gorom refugee camp.
