I’m LGBTQ+ and I Fled Afghanistan — I Need Asylum Before It’s Too Late

My name is not important. What matters is that I’m still alive — but only barely. 

I am an LGBTQ+ individual who fled Afghanistan to escape threats, violence, and death. But the truth is… I haven’t found safety here in Pakistan either. I live every day in fear — fear of being exposed, deported, attacked, or worse. I am writing this petition because I have no voice left, no legal status, no home to return to — and no path forward without your help. 

In Afghanistan, simply existing as someone like me — someone who doesn’t fit their idea of “normal” — is dangerous. It’s not just discrimination. It’s a matter of life and death. I left everything behind to escape that horror. I thought I’d find at least a little safety in Pakistan. But here too, I have no protection. 

🌪️ I live in hiding. 
💔 I cannot work safely. 
🧍 I have no family support. 
💣 I face threats, harassment, and the fear that at any moment, I might be sent back to the country I barely escaped. 

People like me — LGBTQ+ refugees — are not given a voice in systems built to ignore us. 
We are not recognized, not protected, and often not believed. 
Our pain is invisible unless someone decides to see it. 
So I’m asking you now: Please see me. 

Please support this petition and urge governments, the UNHCR, and human rights agencies to take immediate action. I need a safe country, a place where I can exist without constantly looking over my shoulder. I’m not asking for privilege — just protection. 

🔹 I cannot go back to Afghanistan. 
🔹 I cannot live freely in Pakistan. 
🔹 I need asylum in a country where LGBTQ+ rights are respected and lives are protected. 

Every signature on this petition is a step toward my survival. A step toward hope. 
Please, help me be seen. Help me be safe. Help me live. 🌈
