Support LGBT in Ghana

Greetings from the Buduburam camp.

My name is Marc, and I am a transgender girl, a victim of torture and sexual and physical harassment, living in the Buduburam camp in Ghana.

In the camp, we are several LGBT people who fled our home countries to seek asylum in Ghana due to our sexuality or gender identity.

However, we found the situation in the camp to be unwelcoming, miserable, and even life-threatening.

Amongst us, we have children, lesbians with unexpected pregnancies, transgender people, gay men, intersex people, and many other people.

We are looking for funds on behalf of my entire community of 23 people. Funds to ensure our daily meals, blankets, mattresses, medication, etc.

We strongly need everyone's help with this.

What's going on in the Buduburam refugee camp?

Buduburam Camp is located in Ghana. People from many countries seek refuge there to be in a safer situation hopefully.

The LGBT refugees are not only discriminated against in their own countries but also by other refugees of the Buduburam Camp. Because as LGBT people, we live in groups together on the same block at Buduburam 2, it's easier for us to be spotted and attacked, and the infrastructure meant to protect us can't protect us because they are weak.

We humbly request your support in any capacity because it makes a big difference for us here.

Thank you :)
