Astha-UK is a UK-based, community-led organisation dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees. We work to create safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces where individuals can access practical support, emotional care, and a sense of belonging as they rebuild their lives in the UK.
Rooted in lived experience and solidarity, Astha-UK also works to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ rights and human rights issues in Bangladesh. Through education, storytelling, and community engagement, we challenge discrimination, amplify marginalised voices, and promote understanding across cultures and communities.
