Hello.

I hope this message finds you well. I know this might seem strange and a bit random, and I feel embarrassed coming to you like this, but I wanted to reach out to you for help. My name is AshleymilesPhil, and I am a queer refugee currently living in Gorom refugee camp in South Sudan. I originally fled Uganda because living as an openly queer person there meant living in fear of persecution and violence. Unfortunately, the struggles have only intensified as I’ve moved from one refugee camp to another, and now I’m reaching out to you with a request for your help—yes, for help, but it may not necessarily be about money.

I represent a group of LGBTIQ refugees who, like me, fled persecution in search of safety. After leaving Uganda, I arrived at Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where I hoped to find refuge. Instead, we faced violence, harassment, and hostility. LGBTIQ refugees in these camps are isolated and targeted simply for being who we are. We had no choice but to continue searching for safety, which eventually led me and others to Gorom camp in South Sudan.

In Gorom, our situation remains desperate. The anti-LGBTIQ laws here are brutal, and we live under the constant threat of violence and persecution. The hardships we face go far beyond that—starvation, lack of medical care, and a daily struggle for basic survival. We are battling a variety of diseases, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), cholera, malaria, and typhoid, coupled with the homophobic daily persecutions we endure. Many of us are living with HIV/AIDS and cannot access the necessary medication, and some have even lost their lives because of this. Our community members are being killed, while others remain victims of severe persecution.

We desperately need the world to know that we exist. We have been silenced for too long, and we lack the platforms to reach out for help and support. Our voices are not being heard, and the global community is largely unaware of what we are enduring. We need help to survive, and we need allies to stand with us during this crisis.

I am humbly asking if you would consider using your platform to tell our story. By writing a blog post about our struggles, you can help us break the silence and raise awareness of the persecution and challenges we face as queer refugees in East Africa. With more visibility, we hope that people around the world will offer their support, whether by spreading our story or encouraging others to take action.

Please know that your efforts could make a real difference in our lives. If you need further information or personal stories from those affected, I am more than willing to provide them. We are counting on people like you to help bring our voices to the world.

Thank you for taking the time to consider our request. Your support would mean everything to us in these incredibly difficult times.

Warm regards,

AshleymilesPhil

LGBTIQ Refugee, EAST AFRICA.
