Beyond Boundaries
The Realities of LGBTQI+ Ukrainian Refugees
What is this project about?
The LGBTQI+ refugees are confronted with challenges such as restricted access to accommodation, employment and social integration, a lack of access to specific healthcare for transgender and intersex people, and no recognition for same-sex partnerships, limiting family reunification.
The aim of
Beyond Boundaries is to strengthen youth organisations’ capacity to advocate for and support Ukraine and Ukrainian LGBTQI+ refugees, and to create tools to explain the challenges of Ukrainian LGBTQI+ refugees and showcase the support systems available to them
Objectives
Using non formal education, educate and empower young people about the social, economic, and political circumstances of Ukrainian LGBTQI+ people and refugees from a human rights perspective
Establish an international network of young people to act as multipliers and spread understanding and solidarity on the unique risks and realities of LGBTQI+ Ukrainian young people
Create resources for youth organisations and young people to stimulate conversations and support for LGBTQI+ Ukrainian young people
