Helem

Helem is fueled by its mission to empower young LGBTIQ+ leaders to advocate for their own liberation. It seeks to create a community that leverages its diversity as strength, not weakness, and create a holding environment where that diversity can germinate and thrive. In order to do this, we protect queer individuals by resisting their arrests and reducing the harm caused by discrimination, we empower them through education and communal bonding, and we mobilize them to change the policies and practices denying their full equality and reducing their quality of life.
