Let me start with allegations by UNHCR KENYA that Kakuma Refugee camp is now safe or some how tolerant to lgbtiq individuals.

The fact that we no longer report these incidents doesn't give anyone a free ticket to mark the camp as a better place for us to stay.

1). Police officers offer free unconsented #conversiontherapy to us whenever we go to report. This is awkward and disgusting to us and as a result, we seized reporting these attacks.

2). This virus of #conversiontherapy is infesting UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency protection officials as well. They advise us to keep normal and leave homosexuality aside. They add on promises that its when one will be given real protection. Therefore, we seized "over" reporting to them. 

3). Whenever we report, no justice is delivered.

This is in response to what UNHCR Africa has produced in their "7 page statement" about the situation we are going through in Kenya.

We are still targeted, raped, brutalised, filled with fear, sexually abused and exploited, discriminated, etc.

We don't have access to medical services in camp hospitals because we are discriminated there. Discrimination based on sexually differences is real and we can't say that it no longer exists.

We still call on the world to kindly keep imploring, requesting and demanding UNHCR to act per their mandate. They have an obligation to protect us no matter what.

We kindly request the Kenyan government as well through Department of Refugee Services - DRS, Kenya to issue us with refugee statuses. This is to help us access education for Higher education and get realistic durable solutions that can guarantee our safety and freedom at a certain level.
