We are excited to announce that Fonds de Trut has generously granted Trans Rescue €2000 for our East African Trans Decarceration project.
In countries like Uganda where current legislation criminalizes LGBTQI+ populations, there is an urgent need for resources to secure the release of trans and queer people who have been incarcerated and now face violence in detention. These funds will be directly employed to liberate our community members in East Africa as a first step towards further holistic support and rescue services provided by our organization.
We look forward to this new relationship with Stichtung de Trut in Amsterdam and to building coalitions for empowered global trans and queer communities.
