Transcending Borders, Empowering Trans Communities Globally
Founded in 2020, we are at the forefront of global efforts to support and empower transgender & queer women refugees. From our grassroots beginnings to a network spanning multiple continents, we provide essential services and advocate for the rights and dignity of trans individuals everywhere.
Trans-Led Diversity:
At the core of ALMEES lies a dedication to diversity and inclusivity, uniquely established by the transgender Mujja Alloba as a response to the urgent needs of trans refugees who often face unique challenges and risks. The majority of our team members share this background, offering a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by the trans refugee community. Our collective commitment to diversity and inclusivity is rooted in lived experiences, uniting us toward a common goal of promoting equality and empowerment. We firmly believe that this shared foundation strengthens our collective impact and fosters a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the complex issues encountered by queer refugees.​
Mission:
Our mission is to empower and uplift trans refugees by addressing the specific challenges they face due to their gender identity and sexual orientation. ALMEES is committed to creating a supportive network that transcends borders, working towards a future where every trans individual, irrespective of their background, finds safety, acceptance, and the resources needed to thrive.
Global Perspective:
ALMEES recognizes the global nature of the challenges faced by queer refugees. We believe in the power of inclusivity, solidarity, and collaboration to effect positive change. Our initiatives are designed to transcend geographical boundaries, contributing to a more equitable and supportive world for queer communities.
