We are Glad You Exist

Your mental health matters. Did you know over 85% of youth with mental illness go untreated? And LGBTQ+ youth are especially vulnerable. We’re passionate about changing this devastating statistic by supporting youth. Our goal is to create impactful experiences where art and conversation collide to promote self-love and self-care, end the stigma around mental health, and provide a reminder that asking for help can be lifesaving. We successfully provide safe spaces and tools for sustaining youth to thrive, express themselves creatively, become more confident and compassionate and turn their pain into power and purpose

GET SUPPORT

We know how hard it can be to stay true to yourself. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is telling you who you should be… someone different, someone better, or something more. Please know that the words and actions of others do not define you. Get support against bullying. You bring a special light to the world. No matter what, don’t let anyone steal your shine! There is strength in asking for help when you need it. You don’t have to suffer in silence. We stand with you and celebrate your uniqueness you’re one of a kind!We’re here to support you.

Equality Empowerment Ug is concerned about the threats and violence LGBTQ communities are facing. The passing of this law makes the situation even worse; we encourage our community to stay stronger and united to fight this new law in all possible lawful ways.

Corporate & Uganda Renews Clampdown on the LGBT CommunityFinance

On November 11, police in Uganda arrested 125 members of the LGBT community. The Kampala police assert that the Ram Bar, which is frequented by the LGBT community, is a hot spot for smoking opium and shisha. Although reports suggest that only a few were smoking, those arrested were charged with violating the Tobacco Control Act, which outlaws smoking with a shisha water pipe, among other things. They face imprisonment for up to six months. Those arrested deny the charges, claiming that they were distributing condoms and anti-retroviral drugs to prevent the spread of HIV. The raid is the part of a renewed crackdown on the LGBT community.

Since 2019, We’ve helped more than 20,000 descriminated people. (LGBIQ)

As a result, there are constant threats to our safety, including brutal arrests, violence, house evictions, mental health challenges, denial of health care, and homophobic campaigns against the LGBTIQ+ community in Uganda, coming from both the society and legislators. These challenges put LGBTIQ+ people at risk of persecution and threaten our basic human rights. They have made it difficult for LGBTIQ+ populations to survive in their daily lives. Many LGBTIQ+ people living in shelters have been excluded from employment due to stigma and discrimination, with little chance to access food, shelter, health services, and security.
