We Help People Reach Safety

Trans Rescue supports transgender, intersex, and queer people facing danger because of who they are.

If you are at risk due to your gender identity, sexuality, or related factors, we may be able to help you reach a safer place.

Start by choosing the option that best fits your situation.

What is Your Situation?

I Need to Leave My Dangerous Country

I am in a country where being trans or queer is illegal or dangerous

We provide relocation support for people facing serious risk.

Before contacting us, it is important to understand how this works.

→ Learn about International Relocation

→Read what to expect: What To Expect

I Am in the US, UK, or Another Country of New Concern

If you are in a country that is becoming less safe we can help you plan your own relocation. This is not an emergency extraction service where we fly you out, but guidance and support for you to get out on your own.

Here are some first steps:

• Join Office Hours for advice and support
• Grab our How To Get Out book.
• Learn More about our many services: Resources

Contact Us

If you believe you need our help, you can contact us:

Trans Rescue supports transgender, intersex, and queer people facing danger. We don’t decide who is trans enough, you don’t need to send either a ‘case file’ showing you are ‘really’ trans, nor a big file about conditions in your country.

Please include:

• Your current country
• A brief description of your situation
• Whether you are in immediate danger

Do not share sensitive information unless you are communicating safely.

Important

• We are a small, volunteer-run organisation
• We prioritize people facing the most immediate and serious risk
• If we need to provide funding, wait times can be long
• If you are able to support your own travel, we may be able to move faster

We will always try to help where we can, but we cannot assist everyone.

Before You Contact Us

Please make sure you:

• Understand the process: What to Expect
• Know what we can and cannot do: International Relocation
• Are communicating safely: Secure Communication 

Reaching out for help is a serious decision.

We are here to support people in real danger—but preparation, patience, and cooperation are essential.
