Community Support Initiative for Refugees

21/05/2026

Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us that healing, hope, and support matter for everyone — especially q***r refugees and asylum seekers who continue to face displacement, discrimination, and uncertainty with incredible courage.
To every LGBTQ+ refugee and asylum seeker: your identity is valid, your story matters, and your mental health deserves care, safety, and compassion. You are not alone. Even in difficult moments, there is strength in community, resilience in survival, and hope for brighter days ahead.
Let us continue creating safe spaces where q***r people can live openly, heal freely, and access the support they deserve without fear or stigma.
This month, and every month, we stand for dignity, inclusion, and mental wellness for all.

The global Theme for IDAHOBIT (International day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia) is at the heart of democracy.
The theme emphasizes that truly Democratic societies cannot thrive without equality, safety and representation for everyone especially at the time when LGBTQIA+ rights and bodily autonomy face growing challenges globally #@ COSIR we value them at heart 💜💜❤️ 💙💙💙💙

Happy Mother’s Day to all q***r mothers, chosen mothers, and mother figures 💐

Today we celebrate the love that creates family beyond biology—the care, strength, and courage you show every day. You nurture spaces where people can be their true selves, and that is a powerful kind of motherhood.

To the trans moms, nonbinary parents, le***an moms, q***r guardians, and everyone who mothers in their own beautiful way—you are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.

Your love builds safer worlds. Your presence changes lives.

Happy Mother’s Day 💖

Silence protects the wrong

This month is a reminder to:
• Speak up when something feels wrong
• Respect boundaries
• Believe and support survivors
• Create safe spaces for everyone

Consent is not optional and respect is not negotiable.

Let’s build a culture where dignity, respect, and safety are the standard , not the exception.

💙 Thank You for Making This Possible

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported and participated in our recent campaign. Because of your generosity, COSIR was able to conduct a food relief program, where community members received food vouchers to help meet their basic needs.

Your support has brought real relief, dignity, and hope to many during a challenging time. Every contribution truly made a difference.

Together, we continue to build a stronger and more caring community. Thank you for standing with us. 🙏🏾

Because of the incredible Support from our recent Campaign, we have been able to take an important step in supporting the wellbeing of the community we serve, your Contributions have enabled us to conduct a psychosocial support group session focused on healing connection and emotional expression.
Through an art therapy session titled "Expressing Emotions in a safe community" participants were given a safe and supportive space to explore their feelings beyond words.

Activity "What am feeling inside"

During the session participants were invited to freely Choose colors and use drawing, painting or collage to express their emotions, not on how they look but on how they feel, through shapes, lines, colors and symbols. participants were able to release stress and reflect on their inner experiences and reconnect with themselves.
The session provided a non verbal pathway for emotional expression creating a safe environment where individuals could process feelings and feel supported by the community around them.
💙 This is the power of your support, ever contribution helps create spaces of healing, dignity and hope.
Thank you for standing with us and making these moments possible together we continue to build safer stronger communities.
