The experience
A UNAIDS report presents the experience of migrants and refugees who find support in the Lambda association in Guatemala. The story connects the difficulties of displacement with discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Host networks offer a space to rebuild ties and access support. The publication allows these experiences to be heard in their context, without reducing them to a single label.
The original publication indicates that the names of the beneficiaries were changed for security.
Welcome is also about being able to be who you are.
