As we celebrate Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Heritage Month this April, we're filled with passion and purpose, ready to honor Middle Eastern and Northern African LGBTQ+ young people.
Today, we uplift important research from our 2023 U.S. National Survey ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) that illuminates the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth of Middle Eastern and North African descent. This research shows that more than one in five (21%) MENA LGBTQ+ young people reported a suicide attempt in the past year.
This finding underscores the importance of advocating for the well-being of every LGBTQ+ young person while also recognizing the intersectionality of their cultural or ethnic identity.
Knowledge is Power: Access Our Research ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort)
But our work doesn't stop at research. We're working diligently every day, offering vital support and resources to LGBTQ+ young people in need. From our crisis intervention services ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) to our affirming spaces ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) , we're dedicated to providing a lifeline for those who may feel isolated or marginalized.
