Request Details
My name is Lucretia John, a transgender woman and a human rights defender in Kenya Kakuma Refugee camp. I fled Uganda to Kenya 3 years ago due to the homophobic circumstances that were bargaining for my life. I had no option than running for my life to Kenya. On my arrival in Kenya, i had to end up in a refugee camp because that's where we all stay with other refugees.
I found the situation in the camp very worse for lgbtiq to stay. I had to stand out and start defending our rights.
We are being beaten, discriminated, undressed in public, killed by fire, shelterless, raped, starving, no medical supplies, etc.
These are the daily routine of the day to us the transgender community (110 transgenders) in the camp. I am therefore kindly requesting for your support to help us have enough medical services, in places we won't be judged who we are. We need food and shelter as well ASAP.
