RainboW : Welcome to LGBTQI+ refugees

Around the world, many people face persecution because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression (SOGI). Leaving their country of origin becomes their only means of survival. Fleeing persecution, therefore, to find refuge in a host country where “new labels” are added to those of the LGBTQI+ communities (gathering people whose SOGI is different from the heterosexual and cisgender norm) : refugee, foreigner, or migrant. It is to improve the reception of these people facing intersectional discrimination that POUR LA SOLIDARITE-PLS and its four European partners have created the RainboW! project.
