Update. First Bridge to Safety cohort ready to travel.
I have some good news to share. Our first cohort of LGBTIQA+ refugees are about to receive their humanitarian visas with the help of the FDPN-led Bridge to Safety initiative.
But this doesn’t mean their safer future in Australia is guaranteed. These individuals must now secure safe passage to Australia. All this comes at a significant cost. They cannot do this without help.
We need to raise $26,000 as soon as possible to ensure that these two LGBTIQA+ refugees can make it safely to Australia and restart their lives free from harm.
Will you help us reach our $26,000 goal?
To those passionate about standing in solidarity with LGBTIQA+ displaced people, please know that your support in this time-sensitive case will be truly life-changing.
Thank you for your support.
With gratitude
Dr Renee Dixson, Co-Founder & Executive Director
