Those 12 imprisoned victims of anti-LGBTQ hostility and homophobia are the focus of this year’s Project Not Alone, which expands on the project’s previous work that won early release for 46 gay, lesbian and trans prisoners in Cameroon and Nigeria during the years 2019 through 2024. This year’s financial goal is $12,861, which will pay the prisoners’ fines and other charges as well as a small payment demanded by the Maroua prison in northern Cameroon to arrange secure cells for gay prisoners who are currently threatened by other, homophobic prisoners there.
