In commemoration of IDAHOBIT 2026, Entrepreneur Empowerment and Advocacy-Health (EEA-H) presents Beyond Shelter, an initiative advancing safe, inclusive, and dignified spaces for LGBTQIA+ refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya.

The event addresses internalized stigma, discrimination, and harmful phobias that continue to exist within refugee shelters and community spaces, while promoting dignity, respect, accountability, healing, and inclusion.

Through dialogue, storytelling, advocacy, and community engagement, the initiative calls on organizations, shelters, and individuals to move beyond physical protection and actively create environments where every person feels safe, valued, and affirmed.

Core Message

Addressing internalized stigma and intra-community discrimination.
