When organizations connect, communities gain stronger pathways to support. By sharing knowledge, listening to community needs, and working together, we can strengthen responses to homelessness, violence, and challenges affecting marginalized people.
Together, we turn connection into action.

For marginalized communities, protecting personal information is especially important. The wrong person gaining access to your accounts, photos, or private conversations can create real risks. Use strong passwords, protect your accounts, and think carefully about what you share online.
Your privacy is part of your safety.

Behind every black and white photo is a story the world almost refused to see.
A trans woman 🏳️⚧️learning to love herself.
A trans woman surviving violence.
A trans woman rebuilding hope.
A trans woman choosing tomorrow.
Today, we remember: survival is resistance.

At a critical convening in Bangkok 🇹🇭 to launch the Queer Forced Displacement Initiative Network with @RainbowRailroad
@PrismUganda @Thesunbird_N @MinorityShelter
In 🇺🇬 Uganda,many cases of displacement among trans women go undocumented.
What is visible, however, is the reality:
Being asked to leave home after coming out
Losing housing due to discrimination
Moving between temporary spaces without stability
Living in environments that are not safe or secure
Without formal systems of support, many are left to navigate this alone.
This is not rare.
It is happening ,quietly, consistently, and without enough attention.@MJAPUg @minorityadvicay @TruthLgbtq @ipai256 @MinorityShelter @LWUGANDA @transforumug @TransWomanUG @FIL_ug23
This is more than data.
It’s people trying to find safety in a world that keeps taking it away. @QMediaAdvocacy @TruthLgbtq @ipai256 @FIL_ug23 @transforumug @MinorityShelter @LWUGANDA @TranzNetwork

Numbers don’t show the nights spent wondering where to go,or the fear of not having a safe place to return to.But those stories are real, and they matter.@LWUGANDA @transforumug @UgandaTrans @minorityadvicay @MinorityShelter @QMediaAdvocacy @TruthLgbtq @eastafricatrans @UN

It starts with a crowd.A whisper spreads: “that’s a trans woman.”Insults become shouts.Shouts become threats.Threats become violence.Across many communities, trans women🏳️⚧️ are attacked in public spaces humiliation becomes spectacle.@TruthLgbtq @QMediaAdvocacy @ipai256 @unwomenuganda @transforumug @MinorityShelter @LWUGANDA
Violence against trans women 🏳️⚧️ does not begin with murder. It begins with stigma, rejection then murder..This campaign is here to highlight the unfair treatment and cold blood murder of trans women .@QMediaAdvocacy @TruthLgbtq @ipai256 @FIL_ug23 @trans_uganda @TranzNetwork @UgandaTrans
