Immigrants/ MigrantsLGBTQ+
- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- Immigrants are more likely to feel othered if their communities can't find support, and it is additionally complicated for queer identifying immigrants. New immigrants who do not have a supportive network of people to turn to will struggle more, since they are not familiar with their new environment. LGBTQ+ people are also at risk of discrimination if they live in areas that are less safe than others.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Education programs in schools to allow students to have an open mindset, and develop an awareness of how intersectionality applies to their daily lives. More programs that provide support for LGBTQ+ immigrants, such as hosting community events, providing resources for different immigrant development related to housing, healthcare, or education, and posting educational resources online for better accessibility.
