Cocktail

Cocktail Regio Nijmegen organizes meetings for LGBTIQ+ refugees and asylum seekers. Every second Wednesday of each month, there is a meeting in the Pink House (Roze Huis, Sint Anthoniusplaats 1, Nijmegen). It’s a meeting in which you can meet other LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers and get to know more about the Dutch (LGBTIQ+) community.

Cocktail Nijmegen wants to help reduce the isolation that LGBTIQ+ Refugees and asylum seekers are confronted with. Fleeing a country in which you are not safe being LGBTIQ+, and ending up in an AZC surrounded by the same people you were fleeing from is making life not particularly easy. We want to introduce LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers to eachother, to the Dutch society and to the LGBTIQ+ community. In this way we try to improve the social climate for LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers and make them feel less isolated.
