I, Ciara and a trans man, write to you today with a heavy heart, seeking your unwavering support and solidarity as we navigate the dire conditions within the confines of Refugee Camp. Our journey towards freedom has been marred by unrelenting violence, horrific injustices, and the unpunished acts of discrimination, homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia perpetrated against LGBTQIA+ refugees and asylum seekers by our fellow refugees.
It is imperative that we shine a spotlight on our plight, highlighting the insecurity we face and the profound impact that discrimination, persecution, torture, and social stigma have had on our lives. In this unforgiving environment, where the pursuit of asylum has transformed into a nightmare, we bear witness to a distressing reality: our fellow refugees and asylum seekers are deliberately making our lives unbearable through neglect, violence, and social stigma.
To address this escalating crisis, we implore the support of fellow LGBTQIA+ activists, freedom fighters, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and advocates. We need your resolute advocacy to draw attention to our heightened vulnerability and immense suffering at the hands of our fellow refugees. The rampant violence we experience, specifically targeting members of the rainbow family, solidifies the stark truth that acceptance remains an unattainable dream, not only within the refugee community but also within the wider government.
The authorities and security sectors within the camp are complicit in perpetuating this violence, going as far as engaging the police force to promote brutality. I, too, have personally witnessed and endured violence and homophobia on multiple occasions, as our pursuit of freedom from the camp is met with hostility by a community tainted by hatred. These acts of violence, often left unpunished, serve as a glaring reminder that finding acceptance here in Refugee Camp is an insurmountable challenge.
We persist in our search for assistance and vocal support from LGBTQIA+ organizations, activists, freedom fighters, and all forms of advocacy. Together, let us expose the hidden violence and information deliberately concealed by the camp authorities and security sectors, who resort to crafting cover-up statements to obscure their wrongdoings. They tarnish the profiles of LGBTQIA+ individuals within the camp, depriving us of the opportunities to be recognized as legitimate refugees. Yet, we deserve the chance to live our lives, just like any other person. Such actions only underscore the camp's pervasive lack of acceptance and the profound insecurity faced by members of the rainbow family.
In the face of ongoing brutality and suffering, we implore your unwavering support and advocacy to help us survive. It is only through your collective efforts that we can shed light on the injustices we endure within the camp. Our lives have been dedicated to living authentically and embracing our true selves, and it is our fundamental right to do so.
I humbly request you to share this message far and wide, amplifying our voices and spreading awareness to the world at large. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your steadfast support
