We are living in Gorom camp in South Sudan, and for those of us in the LGBTIA+ community, especially our transgender sisters and brothers, the situation has reached a breaking point. We fled our homes seeking safety, but here, we face a different kind of hardship.

Being transgender in this camp means living in constant fear. We are often excluded from community food distributions or bullied at water points. Privacy is impossible in shared shelters, which makes us easy targets for harassment and physical violence. Many of us stay inside all day just to avoid being attacked. When we get sick with malaria or other infections common in the camp, we are often too afraid to go to the clinics because of the stigma we face from staff and other patients.  
We are tired of hiding, and we are tired of being hungry. We are a community of human beings who deserve to live without the constant threat of violence.  
What We Need Most Right Now

To survive this week and the months ahead, we urgently need support for:  
• Safe Shelter: We need funds to secure private housing where we aren't at risk of being attacked in our sleep.  
• Daily Food: Most of us are eating once a day, if we are lucky. We need basic food supplies to stay healthy.  
• Medical Treatment: We need funds for medicine to treat malaria and for transport to clinics where we won't be discriminated against.  
• Trans-Specific Health Needs: Access to hormones (HRT) and dignity items like binders is essential for our well-being and mental health.  
• Sanitation: Basic hygiene kits including soap, clean water, and clothes.  
• Protection and Resettlement: Assistance with the legal fees and documentation needed to move to a country where we can live openly and safely.

How You Can Stand With Us  
Every bit of help goes directly to our survival. It pays for a meal, a dose of medicine, or a safe place to sleep for someone in our group.
