States cannot celebrate hosting refugees while forcing their own citizens into displacement through violence and criminalization. Today at #GRF2025, I spoke demanding dignity, protection, and funding for displaced women and queer communities. Justice must be inclusive ⁦

Uganda gehört zu den queerfeindlichsten Ländern der Welt. Fabian Frank Kagimu ist trans und Geschäftsführerin einer Organisation in Kampala, die trans Menschen unterstützt und sich für deren Rechte einsetzt – soweit das überhaupt möglich ist. #LGBTQ queeramnesty.ch/de/post/der-…

Equal rights mean the same rules apply to everyone.
We all have the same human rights. You, me, everyone. No exceptions! #LGBTIQ

Deep appreciation for @frankmugisha and his art of leadership mentoring, listening, and always making space for others. A true reminder that leadership is also about lifting others.
We kick off the week spotlighting a meeting between our own Ed @boldtypeug & Frank Mugisha. Here’s to meaningful conversations, dignity & a future where everyone is treated with respect. @KuchuTimes @UgandaTrans @transforumug @TranzNetwork @MinorityShelter @unwomenAU @wphfund

Homelessness is more than the absence of a roof, it is a continuous state of survival that takes a heavy toll on the human psyche. The trauma of eviction and the instability of life on the streets lead to chronic anxiety and deep-rooted depression. We are dedicated to providing trauma-informed care and centers of healing for those who need it most. #MentalHealthAwareness #EndHomelessness

#Uganda: Internet restrictions & suspension of 10 NGOs ahead of elections tomorrow are deeply worrying. Open access to communication & information is key to free & genuine elections. All Ugandans must be able to take part in shaping their future & the future of their country.

Protection must reflect reality. For many LGBTQI+ refugees, “return” is not an option,it’s a risk. Permanent, safe relocation saves lives. #QueerRefugees #GRF2025. ⁦@RainbowRailroad⁩ ⁦@PrismUganda⁩ ⁦@MinorityShelter⁩ ⁦@TranzNetwork⁩ ⁦@frankmugisha⁩
