Our stories: Daphine

My name is Daphine Adikini. I'm a Ugandan refugee who fled Uganda - my home country - because of the torture and punishment I received due to my sexuality.

I have received tremendous support from the Say It Loud Club who have helped me gain my confidence back through their help and encouragement.

They have also encouraged me to seek legal advice from a solicitor regarding my rights as a lesbian refugee. They even accompanied me to the solicitor’s office - this gave me confidence.
