Becoming a refugee or seeking asylum are in some ways related, but they are two distinctly different immigration benefits. Immigration Equality works primarily with LGBTQ and HIV positive asylum seekers, detained immigrants and undocumented people living in the U.S. While we work domestically on policy work related to LGBTQ and HIV positive refugees, we are not generally able to assist individual people who need help outside of the U.S. We work with some organizations whose expertise is in refugee work. For questions or support in the refugee arena, please see:
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
Organization for Refugee Asylum and Migration (ORAM)
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP)
