Steven Kabuye refuses to let a near-death experience due to a homophobic hate crime derail him from fulfilling his destiny to advocate for 2SLGBTQI+ rights.
The 2SLGBTQI+ Ugandan activist was stabbed by unknown assailants on his way to work just outside Uganda’s capital city of Kampala in January of this year. The violent knife attack left him near death and in critical condition.
Kabuye made the difficult decision to flee Uganda this past March, relocating to Canada with the support of Rainbow Railroad – a global non-profit that helps at-risk 2SLGBTQI+ people worldwide get to safety.
