Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGTBQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.
Somewhere safe where someone can wait until the Police or a trusted contact can reach them or they have been able to access any necessary information and advice to keep them safe.
Access to a phone if required to call Sussex Police, a trusted contact or another support service.
Sussex Police work closely with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) communities to promote equality and encourage the reporting of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic related hate crime.
We have a network of CEAs throughout the districts of Sussex so there are points of contact locally. For more information head to our LGBT+ page.

LGBT+ CEAs are established across the force. Similar to other liaison officer roles, they receive specialist inputs to raise their knowledge and understanding, and create awareness in LGB and T issues. LGBT+ CEAs will act as a point of contact for LGBT+ communities and individuals, to build relations to increase trust, confidence and encourage reporting of crime.

We expanded our scope and remit to:

amplify the voices of trans people so that the wider world may hear the experiences of a wide range of trans men, trans women and non-binary people
educate people about trans people's lives and the issues we face
advocate for trans people
empower trans people to bring about change in their lives and in the community

True Vision is here to give you information about hate crime or incidents and how to report it. On this website, you can: - find out what hate crimes or hate incidents are. - find out about the ways you can report them. - report using the online form. - find information about people that can help and support you if you have been a victim. The online reporting facility has been developed so that you can report hate crimes online, if you do not want to report directly to the police.
If you've been affected by crime, we can give you the support you need to move forward. We're independent of the police and anyone can contact us for support, regardless of whether the crime has been reported or how long ago it took place. Our services are free, confidential, and available to anyone in England and Wales.
Since last year, hate crimes based on sexual orientation have increased by 41% and hate crime against transgender people has risen by 56% in England and Wales.
Just 1 in 5 hate crime victims are able to access support. By utilising Zoteria, you can anonymously report hate incidents that occur to yourself or others. Our partner, Galop, is an LGBT+ anti-abuse charity that will provide you with the support you need.
By flagging these incidents, you assist us in creating a more accurate understanding of hate crime, enabling us to drive social and policy changes. Currently, only 1 out of 8 hate crimes are reported.
