Support our work for a gender equal society!

Our volunteers and members have many different minority backgrounds, both racialised and non-racialised. Our target group is by no means uniform and includes asylum seekers, labour immigrants, adoptees, students and Norwegian-born people with minority backgrounds. Queer World's work is by and for queer people with minority backgrounds, and we are committed to ensuring that the target group constitutes the majority during our activities.

Asking for asylum in Norway, after entering another EU country: Also, if your plan is to come to Norway after entering the EU Schengen Area and having your passport stamped, please keep in mind that your entry could be subject to the Dublin Convention and therefore demanded to ask for asylum in your first point of entry in the EU.
