As Canada Day approaches, this story of a Mom finding her Canadian identity through helping Syrian refugees settle here after 2015 is poignant.
"In 2025, being a Canadian woman to me means looking out for our neighbours, leaning into differences in culture, religious practices and learning how to help others in need. Because we are not different at all. We are all just looking for safety and peace. It's our Canadian values of equality, respect and freedom in action.
It is the singular privilege of my life to walk alongside these families from Cape Breton and those who are newcomers to Canada. It's changed how I live, and I intend to do this work as long as I am able. I learn from them grace, service, faith and hope. They taught me how to be a Canadian.”

Safehouse in Frankfurt: Schutzburg für queere Geflüchtete
Im Safehouse der Frankfurter Aidshilfe finden queere Geflüchtete Schutz vor Gewalt, Hass und Verfolgung. Hier können sie in einem sicheren Umfeld zur Ruhe kommen und zu sich selbst finden. So wie Josef, der Heimat und Familie hinter sich ließ, weil er frei leben möchte.
