Prosper Project Australia – Supporting LGBTQI+ Refugee and Asylum Seeker Survivors of Sexual Assault

Prosper (Project Australia) is a multi award-winning community organisation working to support disadvantaged children and their families – at home, at school and in the community.

Pride Foundation Australia have awarded this Small Grant to Prosper to develop a range of posters and stickers in five different languages that can be displayed in widely accessible places so that asylum seeker, refugee and CALD members of the LGBTQI+ community who have experienced sexual assault can access essential information and support. Sexual assault is often surrounded by secrecy and shame, this can be especially so for LGBTQI+ members of the community with CALD, refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds who may be contending with multiple other complex traumas.

The posters and stickers will provide messages of healing and hope and will provide information on where survivors of sexual assault and/or their loved ones can safely access further support.
