People who are seeking asylum and a part of the LGBTIQ+ community have very few safe spaces to meet. This group will provide a safe space to meet and discuss the unique issues that LGBTIQ asylum seekers face, and provide access to information referral. It will also provide a social element with activities and outings planned.
The City of Moreland is welcoming and supportive of a diverse group of people. They have shown their support for both people seeking asylum and the LGBTIQ+ communities. Currently there isn't a group in Moreland that caters to people who are seeking asylum and are a part of the LGBTIQ+ community. The addition of 'Rainbow Connection' to Moreland would mean that people who are seeking asylum and are a part of the LGBTIQ+ community will have a safe inclusive space to meet, share information and support each other through their respective journeys.

Everyone has the right to feel included in the community they live in and to feel safe.
