ABOUT US

LGBT World Beside is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization officially registered in the Netherlands in 2018. Our work began by helping LGBTQ+ individuals who fled Chechnya starting in 2017 to escape torture and persecution due to their sexual orientation. Today, we support all LGBTQ+ individuals from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia seeking refugee status or asylum in the Netherlands.

We hold the status of a public benefit organization (ANBI) in the Netherlands.
