Support and Advocacy for LGBTQI+ Refugees
Seeking Protection
Founded in 2000, Rainbow Refugee is a Vancouver based organization that promotes safe, equitable migration and communities of belonging for people fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or HIV status.
We provide support, information, and system navigation to refugees and refugee claimants seeking refugee status in Canada. We manage the Rainbow Refugee Assistant Partnership, allowing us to privately sponsor refugees in collaboration with other LGBTQI+ organizations in the Rainbow Coalition for Refuge.

Sponsor a refugee
Sponsorship creates a pathway to safer, more accepting communities for LGTBQI+ refugees who are at risk in countries of asylum. Rainbow Refugee Society brings together people who are interested in forming a Circle of Hope. Circles of Hope are sponsorship groups that raise funds to sponsor a LGBTQI+ refugee and help them resettle in British Columbia, Canada.
