In the spirit of resilience, empowerment, and unity, ALMEES was founded by a community of queer refugees who understand the profound challenges faced by those seeking safety and acceptance. Our manifesto is rooted in the principles of equality, inclusivity, and shared empowerment.
Our Vision:
ALMEES envisions a world where every queer individual, regardless of their background, finds refuge, support, and the opportunity to thrive. We strive for a future free from discrimination, where the diverse voices of the LGBTQ+ community are heard, respected, and celebrated.
Founding Principles:
1. Queer-Led Advocacy: ALMEES is uniquely led by queer refugees, ensuring that our advocacy is shaped by lived experiences, fostering empathy and understanding.
2. Inclusivity as Strength: We believe in the strength that comes from embracing diversity. Our team, predominantly composed of queer refugees, recognizes the power of inclusivity to effect positive change.
3. Global Solidarity: ALMEES is committed to fostering global solidarity, recognizing the interconnectedness of the struggles faced by queer refugees worldwide.
