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.
