About us
People Like Us – PLUS, is an LGBTIQ+(QUEER) human rights refugee organization whose dream began in late 2019 by a group of young queer refugees in Bavaria. We are a community-based queer organization for queer migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
As an organization, we believe that our own experiences as refugees put us in a better position to understand the challenges faced by other queer refugees. We believe in the equal rights and inclusive engagement of queer refugees in our society and rely above all on the norms and principles of human rights for all.
Our biggest accomplishment was conducting a needs assessment in Munich and registering our organization as an e.V., which puts us in a better position to serve our community.
