Vacatures

LGBTI-refugees flee from homophobic societies seeking legal protection. The asylum procedure in the Netherlands can be complicated and overwhelming. As a legal volunteer, you provide legal assistance to clients throughout the asylum procedure and buttress their asylum application based on provided source material.

In order to familiarise LGBTI-refugees with Dutch culture, learning Dutch is indispensable. As a volunteer teacher, you teach Dutch to at least one client on a weekly basis.

LGBTI-refugees originate from various countries. Clients often have a Russian, Arabic or Iranian background, on account of homophobic-legislation and prevalent societal attitude. As such, LGBT Asylum Support is looking for volunteer translators in Arabic, Farsi and Russian to translate documents which are vital for asylum requests of individual clients.

The treatment of LGBTI refugees is the subject of a heated societal and political debate. As a communication volunteer, you speak on behalf of LGBT Asylum Support.

Link: Vacancy-Social Media – LGBT Asylum Support

LGBTI-refugees originate from countries in which their sexual orientation is often legally criminilised and socially vilified. Throughout the asylum procedure, LGBTI-refugees live at the mercy of a hostile environment and cannot express themselves freely. As a buddy, you provide a safe environment in which LGBTI-refugees can express themselves freely and familiarise them with Dutch culture.
