Resources for LGBTQ+ Migrants, Refugees, and Asylees
To our migrant, refugee, and asylee family — you are loved. Be strong and know that there are people and organizations fighting tooth and nail every single day to support your right to exist. The It Gets Better Project will be by your side until justice prevails and will continue to fight for a world where all LGBTQ+ people are free to live equally and know their worthiness and power as individuals.
Below is a list of organizations in the United States and elsewhere in the world that are serving the needs of LGBTQ+ migrants, refugees, and asylees. If our information is incorrect, or if there are organizations that we have failed to include, please notify our staff at global@itgetsbetter.org.
