The Refugee Translation Project

As the World Cup brings the world together, asylum seekers are fighting for something even bigger than a trophy: safety, stability, and a chance to build a new life.

Our clients have fled ethnic, political, gender-based, and anti-LGBTQ+ violence, traversed oceans and jungles, and strive to make a life of dignity here in the US.

Everyone deserves a fair shot. As soccer transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, the translation services we provide help our clients overcome similar barriers, enabling access to justice, education, healthcare, and opportunity.

Your contribution makes a huge difference!

Our client Yasmine won her asylum case!

Yasmine left her home country in North Africa due to the extreme persecution she experienced as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Same-sex relationships are punishable by prison there. People often suffer physical abuse, receive death threats, and experience social and family ostracization.

Yasmine applied for asylum in the US nine years ago, but due to the backlog of cases, her hearing was postponed. When her court date finally came, she needed RTP to urgently translate a new piece of evidence crucial to her upcoming case. We translated the document in time for her to submit it to the court. The immigration judge granted Yasmine asylum, and she is finally able to live safely and legally in the US.

RTP is committed to providing rapid and accurate translation services that take into account the specific requirements necessary to tell these stories of persecution so that our clients can win their cases.

During this Pride Month please take a stand, and support RTP in serving members of our LGBTQIA+ community who are seeking to live a life of dignity and safety.

Your support can really make a difference in someone’s life!

We wish everyone a happy Pride Month

RTP is committed to providing rapid and accurate translation services that take into account the specific requirements necessary to tell LGBTQIA+ stories to the court and other institutions, so that our clients can win their cases and be granted legal status.

Our LGBTQIA+ clients have endured strict discriminatory laws, relentless street harassment, death threats, physical and sexual abuse, imprisonment, and torture at the hands of law enforcement, community members, and family, often times utterly alone, before undertaking the difficult journey abroad.

LGBTQIA+ refugees face gender-based and homophobic violence not only in their home countries, but also at border crossings and in the countries they are passing through or seeking refuge in. We make sure that our LGBTQIA+ clients have all the language support they need to prove their cases.
