Our offers
The aim of the new LSVD project “Fluchtgrund queer: Queer Refugees Deutschland” is to keep expanding the networking structures that exist throughout Germany. Municipal employees and all others who work with refugees are made aware of the special needs of LGBTIQ+ refugees. The employees and volunteers can use the expertise they have gained to address the needs of these particularly vulnerable refugees with more confidence and in a more targeted manner.
Our work also focuses on raising awareness and preparing integration and vocational language course leaders on the topic of “empowering sexual and gender diversity”. A specially designed textbook is taught to the course leaders in training sessions and made available free of charge for their work.
The existing website “www.queer-refugees.de” is also being revised. Numerous information and contact points throughout Germany can be found in a clear online map. Furthermore, the site is available to interested parties in nine different languages and in plain English.
You can also order information material on the topic of LGBTIQ+ refugees from us free of charge.
Are you active in the field of refugee assistance or for an LGBTIQ+ organisation?
If you are working in the field of refugee assistance or for an LGBTIQ+ organisation, we would be happy to train and advise you and your colleagues on your work with LGBTIQ+ refugees as part of the project.
Are you a refugee LGBTIQ+ person yourself and looking for a contact or counselling? We will gladly put you in touch with the appropriate contact point in your area without any red tape. Are you interested? Get in touch with us!
An asylum application for Germany can only be made in Germany. If you are still abroad and would like to enter Germany to subsequently apply for asylum, we unfortunately cannot offer you any help.
One legal way to enter and live in Germany is a work visa or a study visa. For more information, please contact the German Embassy in your country.
