LGBTQ+ and seeking asylum in the UK? We have a detailed guide available on our website to help you. 🌈⚧️

Our guide covers every step of the process, and is available in 11 languages.

❌ 4 detention centres have failed to make any reference to sexual orientation or gender identity in anti-bullying information displayed in the centre

It’s time for this government to end the detention of all LGBTQI+ people now! #EndLGBTQIDetention

❌ Not 1 of UK's 7 detention centres has the required strategies in place to help staff to detect and challenge homophobic behaviour

❌ Trend analyses of bullying incidents within detention centres have not been conducted, contrary to Home Office requirements

‼️Breaking: An exclusive article published by @nicolakellywrites.bsky.social in @bylinetimes.bsky.social today reveals that the Home Office is failing to protect #LGBTQI+ people from bullying in immigration detention.

Read the article and join our #NoPrideInDetention campaign!

We are proud to join @togetheralliance.bsky.social. As an organisation that supports LGBTQI+ people seeking safety in the UK, we know firsthand how dangerous and dehumanising the current political climate has become. We need hope and unity, not division.
