In Case of ICE: Know Your Rights, Contact Us

While we do not support illegal immigration, we believe that every person—regardless of their status—deserves humane treatment, legal support, and a chance to be heard. For Senegalese migrants currently detained by ICE, we provide critical assistance: connecting them with legal counsel, helping families locate loved ones, and offering emotional and cultural support during an incredibly vulnerable time. Our mission is rooted in justice, not judgment.

Protect Vulnerable LGBTQ+ Individuals in Senegal

We are calling on the Government of Senegal to respond to an alarming crisis affecting LGBTQ+ individuals—many of whom are being coerced, trafficked, and stripped of their agency.
Youth and adults alike are at serious risk, often silenced by fear and stigma.
We urge the Government to establish safe, professional counseling and protection centers where anyone can report abuse, seek help, and reclaim their dignity.
This is not a matter of politics—it is a matter of humanity.
