Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. 🏳️⚧️ 🕊️ It’s a day to honor the lives of transgender people lost to violence, hatred, and systemic discrimination. We remember them as individuals with dreams, love, and humanity who deserved so much more. At Trans Rescue, our mission is to fight for a world where trans people don’t have to fear for their safety or their futures. Today, we pause to reflect on the lives lost, but also to reaffirm our commitment to protecting, supporting, and uplifting trans people everywhere. We remember: 🩷 The trans people whose lives were cut short. 🤍 The trailblazers who fought for our rights. 🩵 Those who live their truth every day, despite unimaginable risks. 💖 Those who couldn’t speak out but remain in our hearts. Let us honor their memories by continuing the fight for safety, equality, and dignity for all trans people.

Trans Rescue helps trans and queer people flee from life threatening situations from some of the world’ dangerous places
About us
At Trans Rescue, we are dedicated to helping trans and queer individuals escape life-threatening situations in some of the world’s most dangerous regions. With over 145 successful rescues, including the Middle East and Africa, our mission is saving lives, one rescue at a time. The Growing Crisis LGBTQI+ people now face criminalization in over 70 countries, some of which impose the death penalty. They endure persecution, incarceration, violence, family rejection, loss of employment and education. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International report that many thousands of LGBTQI+ individuals are imprisoned worldwide. Because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, the majority routinely face torture and sexual abuse while incarcerated. Seeking asylum is often their only hope, but the journey is dangerous and difficult. That where we come in. How we help We are dedicated to protecting and supporting trans people and the broader queer community in escaping persecution, utilizing a comprehensive approach that includes: Emergency Evacuation: We coordinate and execute emergency evacuations, extracting individuals from life-threatening environments. Safe Relocation: We endeavour to relocated individuals to countries or regions where they can live freely and safely, away from persecution.
