WHO WE ARE
This is our story
Access For All( AFA) was originally founded in Southern Sudan working towards promoting the rights and respect of sexual minorities( LGBTI Q) in February 201 6 in Juba due to the social Injustice, violence and discrimination faced by LBTI persons in the region. In the same year the organization was shut down by the government and the founders sought asylum in Uganda. But when they reached, they realized that urban LGBTI refugees faced heightened Gender Based Violence risks due to unmet multiple and complex social, economic and medical needs as well as intersecting oppressions based on race, ethnicity, nationality, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This exacerbated due to the fact that humanitarian actors have no programs serving refugees in the cities and less concern has been taken to cater for LGBTI refugees. Moreover sex work and homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and the laws governing refugees are restrictive. Hence AFA was rebounded to contribute to the promotion of health rights and dignity of urban refugee sexual minorities groups in Uganda.
