International Railroad for Queer Refugees
Iran (based in Canada)
Servicios
IRQR conducts regular workshops for refugees in different Turkish cities and facilitates the exchange of local-condition information to strengthen the knowledge shared throughout the underground queer railroad and strengthen the LGBT Iranian activist network worldwide. As well, through the Refugee Program, the IRQR helps each refugee with his/her asylum claim by meeting with the refugee. The IRQR also assists those refugees whose claims are granted and who are referred to Canada for resettlement with completing the immigration application forms that the refugees must submit to immigration officers at the Canadian Embassy in Turkey. And The IRQR provides relief for these impoverished refugees by providing them with financial assistance to cover their food, shelter, clothing and medical services through their SHER program.
