s. For more information, please visit our website https://rainbowpathnz.com/ or contact us through [email protected]. We mostly work on voluntary basis, so it may take us a few days to respond. Please note, we are not lawyers or immigration advisors. We cannot represent or advise anyone about their asylum claim or influence the decision made about your case. We can refer you to a lawyer for that advice, and we help in other ways so you can focus on your claim. We can only help people who are already in New Zealand. If you are an asylum seeker from overseas, this ORAM factsheet (https://oramrefugee.org/qa-for-asylum-seekers-refugees/) contains basic information for anyone considering leaving their country to escape persecution. Rainbow Railroad (https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/), based in Canada, supports some Rainbow activists to leave their country to escape from violence. This UNHCR website (https://help.unhcr.org/) gives information on asylum procedures and support available in many countries overseas.
