Rahma’s Story
Historically, Rainbow Railroad has received over 61,000 requests for help from LGBTQI+ individuals in over 190 countries. One of these requests for help was from Rahma.
Born and raised in Morocco, and later living as a refugee in Turkiye, Rahma faced years of violence, imprisonment, and discrimination simply for being who they are: a non-binary lesbian.
Rainbow Railroad helped support Rahma in their resettlement to Canada.
