Helem

Overview

Helem is a non-governmental organization working towards justice and equality for all LGBTIQ+ people in Lebanon and the SWANA region. It seeks to create a community that leverages its diversity as strength, not weakness, and create a holding environment where that diversity can germinate and thrive. In order to do this, it protects queer individuals by resisting their arrests and reducing the harm caused by discrimination, empowers them through education and communal bonding, and mobilizes them to change the policies and practices denying their full equality and reducing their quality of life.
