At ISHRAI, we understand that safety is a fundamental human right. We recognize that many LGBTQIA+ individuals face unique challenges and vulnerabilities, often leading to situations where finding a safe place to stay becomes critical. Our Safe Shelter program is designed to offer refuge and security to those who need it the most, ensuring that everyone has access to a supportive environment where they can heal and rebuild their lives.

The Importance of Safe Shelter

For many LGBTQIA+ individuals, the threat of violence, discrimination, or rejection from family and society is a harsh reality. The lack of safe spaces can make escaping such situations incredibly difficult. Our Safe Shelter program acknowledges these challenges and strives to bridge the gap by providing a temporary home that is accepting, affirming, and respectful of your identity.

1. Safe and Welcoming Environment: Our shelters are LGBTQIA+-friendly spaces where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment or discrimination.

2. Basic Necessities: We provide essential amenities such as food, clothing, hygiene products, and a comfortable place to sleep.
