In Gulf countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, LGBT+ people face extreme persecution and violence. But with your support, local partners can help them find safety and a new life in the United States.
All Out is partnering with the Alwan Foundation to support LGBT+ asylum seekers from countries across the Gulf Region.
Donate today to help these brave individuals escape persecution and rebuild their lives!
In many Gulf countries, same-sex sexual activity is criminalized, with severe penalties including imprisonment, corporal punishment, and even death.
Identifying as a trans person is also criminalized, leading to severe discrimination and violence.
LGBT+ people face constant harassment, violence, and are often denied basic rights like education, housing, and employment.
LGBT+ people in the region often can't trust the authorities or even their own families - meaning escape is their best option at a better life.
“The moment I connected with the Alwan Foundation, I found hope and support. They are helping me navigate the asylum process and giving me a chance at a new life.”
“I faced unimaginable violence and rejection from my family for being LGBT+. The Alwan Foundation has been a lifeline, offering legal and financial support as I seek asylum.”
“In my country, being openly gay meant risking my life. The Alwan Foundation is helping me find safety and start over in the US, where I can live freely.”
This is a crowdfunding campaign, which means we need a lot of people to donate.
Together, those donations will fund The Alwan Foundation and their work to save LGBT+ lives.
