Bassima Foundation

Bassima Foundation exists to improve the wellbeing and circumstances of LGBTIQ+ people in Australia and their families by:
– Relieving distress and disadvantage to LGBTQI+ people;
– Reducing the prevalence and relieving the effects of depression, suicide, anxiety, bullying, and homelessness they experience;
– Reducing the stigma and discrimination they experience;
– Advancing and promoting equality and inclusion; and
– Enhancing their actual, and sense of safety, security and acceptance.

We stand together and we stand proud because no one deserves to be treated as less than for simply being who they are. Not the rainbow family. Not the trans teenager. Not the teacher or student just trying to go to school.
Bassima Foundation supporting the LGBTQIA+ community works to create a safe and inclusive environment for individuals of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. These organizations offer a range of services such as advocacy, support groups, education, and resources to address the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. They aim to promote equality, acceptance, and awareness while fighting against discrimination and prejudice. By providing a platform for community engagement, these organizations empower LGBTQIA+ individuals to express themselves freely, access healthcare services, and receive support in a non-judgmental setting. Overall, LGBTQIA+ support organizations play a vital role in promoting understanding, acceptance, and fostering a sense of belonging within the community.

We are working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people to build the power, voices and influence of our communities to address their suffering. We also work in partnership with other organisations to achieve our aims.
