OUR PROJECTS
Our LGBTQ+ community in the Netherlands is diverse and multifaceted. Therefore, we strive to develop inclusive projects that meet the various needs of community members.
We understand how important it is to feel part of a community again when arriving in a new country. We organize regular meetings, events, and picnics where you can meet new people in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
We assist LGBTQ+ refugees facing mental health challenges. Those in asylum reception centers (AZC) often struggle with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. Remember, you are not alone—reach out to us for free psychological consultations and support.
We aim to make European and international policies more inclusive towards LGBTQ+ individuals from the EECCA region. To achieve this, we write reports and analytical materials and hold meetings with policymakers and authorities. We also work to raise awareness about the situation of the LGBTQ+ community in the region.
