Each year the number of refugees is increasing both worldwide and in Armenia. This increase is related to a number of socio-economic, political and various other issues. LGBT+ refugees are much more vulnerable, as there is a risk of facing multilayered discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, race, skin color, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can find primary information on how to find out the various forms of support which is available in Armenia, where to apply, considering the situation you are in, what rights and legal regulations exist in the country, and which institutions and organizations you can turn to, if you face violence or discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The links and information included in this guide are presented according to data available in 2025. If some of the links do not work when you read it, please try searching for the data of the mentioned organizations and institutions using search applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
