Help Share The Plea Of A Transgender Sudanese Woman Living In A Refugee Camp!

Help share the plea of a transgender Sudanese woman living in a refugee camp!

hi all, i'm sure those of you following have been seeing me make various posts about @muhshinmagala1tranz 's situation and how it changes as time passes. since the situation continues to evolve, i wanted to lay a baseline and just explain to the best of my ability the group's broader struggles. this post may be marked as mature, as the last big post was, so please help if you can by giving this a reblog before staff decides to destroy the traction this post may get.

i hope illustrating these issues will perhaps persuade those reading to give a reblog. before i go any further, i will link the gofundme and magala's site that my brother and i helped make:

LGBT Sudanese refugees desperately need our help with receiving basic necessities.

so, as many of you may know, i have been talking with magala for several months now, and things have been terrible for her and her group. their larger group is much bigger, but she and her lgbt siblings make up about 34 people now. resources like food, water, mattresses, pads, soap, mosquito nets, and so on are tight, and jobs are hard to come by due to the violent descrimination they face in living their lives as transgender and gay people, because bigots won't hire them. magala once asked me if i believed that they deserved to exist, just because they're trans, after her friend had been visciously attacked and beaten nearly to death. it broke my heart. their ultimate goal is to move to a camp two countries away that has many more lgbt people and a much kinder and less violent climate, but they need money to do that, at least $2000, and that is money that could go to helping their camp members various ailments. it's especially difficult with how much they're struggling to meet their most basic of needs right now.

as of now, their group is comprised mainly of sick and injured people, many of whom need surgery or medical intervention and can't afford it. several of them are very ill with no discernable cause, and they can't get help because there is simply no money. many of them have chipped or broken teeth, or jaw injuries from being beaten, as assaults and beatings are extremely common. this is to say nothing of camp life, which sometimes includes raiders visiting and stealing what little they have, and abducting people. the other day magala showed me her own false teeth, which she had to get after she was beaten badly, and now her jaw is extremely painful to use and cracks when she opens her mouth. five members are HIV positive and NEED the medicine, but also food and water to take it with. a child of one of her camp members has cancer, and needs a $5000 surgery. for those watching my posts, magala's friend was just kicked out of a hospital after she was nearly beaten to death by a group of transphobic people, all because they couldn't meet the funds, and if i hadn't been here as her security net, she and her friend would have literally gone to jail. and her friend is STILL injured and STILL almost died, with no help. the police shaved off magala's beautiful hair as well. what i'm trying to say here is that if i and my friends were not here during that event, there would be no campaign because she would not be here to speak to us or fend for her group. please don't leave magala alone and relying on only one or two people, and her group relying on only her! this is what the LGBT community is FOR, supporting and helping one another and boosting the voices of those being run down.

a reblog takes half a second, and makes a world of difference!

^^^ these are some of the people with HIV, some of the people who need medical intervention they can't afford, and some of the people sick with something they can't even identify. the last image is the boy with cancer. you can see what it's doing to his body.

magala risks a lot to try to get these photos to us so we can see what she's going through - some people attack her for daring to take photos of them or around them, or of her own situation, and in some places photos are entirely forbidden. she is begging people to just listen to her story -- if you want to verify it yourself, you can message her, right here on tumblr. she's a wonderfully kind woman, doing her best to lead her fellow lgbt siblings in am impossible climate of intolerance.

i know people rarely read these posts in full these days, but if you did, thank you, so, so much. please spare a reblog, donate $5 if you can... this is an extremely difficult situation and right now she's weathering this storm almost entirely alone. and if this story moves you and you want to help further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to her. we need help wherever we can get it, especially in spreading this post and finding people who can help with that. we also need help in being able to cross post to different platforms like tiktok, which would be amazing, and is something i just can't do on my own as one disabled person on tumblr. i really want my friend to not have to live in fear that the next day is her last.

thank you again, so much, from the bottom of my heart.
