Forgotten on World Refugee Day. Trans Refugees Still Trapped After Eviction Deadline (infosec.pub)

Hello everyone

My name is Cyara Kaira, and I’m a transgender refugee living in South Sudan. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and my sisters in these painful times. Your help has meant the world to us.

But the truth is we are still not safe.

The government of South Sudan told us to leave Gorom Refugee Camp without any support. No plan, no help, nothing. Just a command to leave by June 20th or face forced eviction and possibly prison.

June 20th, the day the world marked World Refugee Day was the exact moment we were told to disappear. There was no celebration, no protection, no recognition of our struggle. Just silence and fear. And now, during Pride Month, when the world talks about love and visibility, we are hiding, scattered, and terrified.

Some of the community have found temporary shelter in Juba, thanks to kind strangers and a small GoFundMe. But most of my sisters are still trapped in the camp. They are still in danger.

We are a small group of trans ,people who fled violence only to be met with more rejection and cruelty. But we believe in hope, and we’re still holding on. We really need your support please.

We couldn’t celebrate Pride. We couldn’t celebrate being refugees. But with your help, maybe one day we can celebrate survival.

Thank you for reading. With all my love and strength,

CyaraKaira
