Desert Harvest Partners with Trans Asylias to Raise Awareness + Support for the Trans Community

TRANS ASYLIAS, a New York City-based non-profit organization founded in 2021 by Iman Le Clair, provides resources for transgender and non-binary asylum seekers to escape their home countries where they face persecution and resettle in trans-friendly countries.

Iman herself endured years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse until she finally sought asylum outside of her native country of Egypt. After arriving in the United States, she quickly realized she still faced the same prejudices simply for being a trans woman of color, which inspired her to create change and form TRANS ASYLIAS.
