2025 has been a year of truth-telling, deep listening, and community protection through the Kabi Ma Me Hotline. From January to November alone, we recorded 657 incident reports across all 16 regions, each one a reflection of the real experiences of LBQT and GNC persons navigating violence, discrimination, and crisis.
This year’s data revealed painful patterns: identity-based discrimination, family rejection, outing, partner abuse, and structural stigma that continues to silence our communities. Yet, it also showed resilience, with survivors reaching out, trusting us, and choosing safety over silence.
Through direct crisis response, safety planning, referrals, and ongoing case management, OLS supported hundreds of individuals in moments where protection mattered most.
The growth from 25 reports in 2022 to 657 in 2025 shows not just increased visibility, but also rising courage, trust, and community willingness to seek help.
This is more than data, it is a call for collective action.
Our communities deserve safety, dignity, and justice.
And at OLS, we remain committed to that fight.
