Hello everyone It’s been 19 days since I last posted. I’ve been very sick and deeply depressed. I just didn’t have the strength to even hold the phone. I have been suffering from Malaria, typhoid and ulcers for almost 2 weeks now. I am really writing to inform you that we are in danger.

I’m Cyara, a trans refugee in South Sudan. It’s me and 3 other trans sisters. Ever since the government came out told us to leave the camp and live in Juba city life became really horrible. It told us that it would forcefully evict us. Imprison or deport us. The deadline past weeks ago. They haven’t reacted as they said. But now the community has started attacking us. Refugees and host communities are now beating and promising to cut us with machetes. Besides physical violence now they have resorted to threatening to kill us. They say we are against their culture, religion and laws.

We are trying to raise money to relocate to safety even just temporary shelter. We’ve raised a little but it’s nowhere near enough. We urgently need support shares, donations, any connection that can help.

I know many people are struggling but if you can help us even in a small way it could save lives. I’m open to a voice or video call to share more. Please we really need your support.

The support link is on my profile.

Thank you so much
