Navigating adolescence is challenging for everyone, but it’s especially difficult for young people questioning their sexual orientation and gender identity. In the United States of America, lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth are almost five times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers, and the situation is even more dire in countries like Nigeria and Indonesia, where support is dangerous to access, if it exists at all. At a time in their lives when they most need understanding and advice, LGBTQ+ youth around the world often have nowhere to turn. SameSame is here to change that. Access to information In countries where LGBTQ+ people face discrimination, imprisonment, and the threat of violence, there's a desperate lack of access to private, secure, and relevant information. SameSame provides young people with an opportunity to access essential information from doctors, lawyers, therapists, and other young people who’ve had the courage to share their stories.
