Introducing the Safe Space Alliance

What is the Safe Space Alliance?

The Safe Space Alliance is a LGBTQI+ led nonprofit organisation that helps people identify, navigate, and create safe spaces for LGBTQI+ communities worldwide. Our two core activities include maintaining an online directory of spaces around the world that welcome and support LGBTQI+ communities, and helping LGBTQI+ people get to safety. Being part of the Safe Space Alliance is being part of a global and collaborative network that welcomes and supports LGBTQI+ communities.

What is a safe space?

A safe space is a space that welcomes and supports LGBTQI+ communities. It is a space where LGBTQI+ communities can freely express themselves without fear. It is a space that does not tolerate violence, bullying, or hate speech towards LGBTQI+ communities.

A safe space does not guarantee 100% safety, rather, it’s a space that has your back if an incident (violence, bullying, or hate speech) were to occur.

Can you help me get to safety?

If you identify as LGBTQI+ and need help getting to safety, please complete our online form or contact us direct.

How do I list a space?

Anyone anywhere in the world with a genuine interest in creating welcoming and supportive spaces for LGBTQI+ communities can list a space with us. We welcome and value all spaces regardless of size, location, and category/industry. You can list a physical space (with street address), mobile space (someone that travels around such as a consultant), digital space, and/or heritage space (a space of historical significance to LGBTQI+ communities from the recent or distant past that once welcomed and supported LGBTQI+ communities).

Listing with us is free. You also have the option of paid listings with extra features if you’d like to support the work we do as a global LGBTQI+ nonprofit organisation. You can list a space using our online form.
