Empowerment and anti-discrimination counselling

Awareness-raising programs and anti-discrimination work for institutions

The "Empowerment and Anti-Discrimination Counseling for Queer Refugees, (Post-)Migrants, and BIPoC in Bremen" is located at Theodor-Körner-Straße 1 in the Viertel district. The project is funded by the federal program "Democracy Live!". Refugees and LGBTIQ+ migrants frequently experience multiple forms of discrimination in their daily lives, including queerphobia and racism.

For institutions

• Information sessions for multipliers and state actors who potentially work with LGBTQI* BIPoC (e.g., migration and refugee services or LGBTQI* white spaces that want to open up).
• Awareness-raising discussions for non-queer BIPoC to achieve more sensitive and conscious communication and cooperation with those affected by multiple discrimination.

The counselling service supports queer refugees, (post-)migrants and BIPoC with:

• Empowerment processes (dealing with one's own identities)
• Experiences of discrimination in various areas and situations (anti-discrimination strategies)
• queer education work (sexual orientation/gender identity and intersectionality)
• Advisory and support services
• For parents and relatives from migrant/refugee families, there are counseling services that aim to facilitate the acceptance of the child's queer identity and serve to prevent violence and conflict through raising awareness
