LGBTIQ+ Refugees
LGBTIQ+ refugees around the world face heightened risks throughout their displacement journeys, from violence and discrimination in transit countries to systemic barriers within European asylum systems. Many cannot access protection because mainstream services are not safe, inclusive, or informed about the realities of queer and trans people fleeing persecution. ALO’s LGBTIQ+ Refugees Program responds to these gaps through direct support, inclusive community programming, specialized tools, and sustained advocacy at national, regional, and international levels.
Our work supports LGBTIQ+ refugees and asylum seekers of all nationalities, including Afghans, Ukrainians, Russians, and others seeking safety in the Czech Republic.
