Comments on: Faith and desire in Albert Square http://chronikler.com Byte-sized muse and views Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:01:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Scott Piro http://chronikler.com/europe/uk/gay-muslim-eastenders/comment-page-1/#comment-72 Scott Piro Sun, 16 Aug 2009 14:17:51 +0000 http://chronikler.com/?page_id=772#comment-72 I saw your story on Eastenders’ new gay/Muslim storyline, and I thought you might appreciate knowing about a new refugee advocacy organization with a focus on LGBTs that launched in June: ORAM – Organization for Refuge, Asylum & Migration. ORAM’s mission is to advocate for refugees fleeing sexual or gender based violence. Only through raising consciousness of LGBT refugee issues to governments, refugee organizations, communities and the media, will help come to these individuals, who are among the most persecuted people in the world today. We published a report last month on the treatment of LGBT refugees (many who are Iranian) living in Turkey. Details of our work and mission appear in the press release below. Whether your concern is LGBT rights, refugee rights or both, we invite you to learn more about us by visiting http://www.oraminternational.org Via e-mail on 13/08/09 I saw your story on Eastenders’ new gay/Muslim storyline, and I thought you might appreciate knowing about a new refugee advocacy organization with a focus on LGBTs that launched in June: ORAM – Organization for Refuge, Asylum & Migration.
