Hello comrades,

Four months ago, I joined this space in search of hope and many of you truly changed our lives. When I first posted about the danger we faced as trans refugees in Gorom Camp, you responded with kindness, care, and solidarity.

But today, on World Refugee Day, that hope was violently shaken.

This morning, the host community and others launched a serious attack. Our shelters were burned down. We fled with nothing. Two of my sisters were injured in the chaos.

We are now in hiding. We’re exhausted. We’re terrified. But we’re still here.

I'm sharing video footage of what happened today not to shock, but because we need you to see our reality.

We need urgent mutual aid to help us relocate to a safer place.

Our mutual aid link will be in the comments.

Thank you for any support donation, share, or boost. 💙🏳️‍⚧️
