About

Trans Rescue is a global, volunteer-run organization that helps transgender, intersex, and queer people escape life-threatening situations and reach safety, and it has helped over 186 people relocate to date. For people in countries that are becoming less safe, including the US and UK, they may not arrange direct relocation, but they offer planning and guidance, weekly online Office Hours, and a library of resources including their How To Get Out book. Based in the Netherlands and reachable through their site.
