Since April 2017, when news of the human rights violations in Chechnya broke, ILGA-Europe have been working closely with our member organisations such as the Russian LGBT Network to try and establish facts about what has been happening, and to offer assistance on the ground.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have helped to resettle more than twenty victims in safe countries. Funds have been used for housing, food, legal support, language lessons and psychosocial support.
