Support Respond’s urgent support of Nicaraguan asylum seekers
Over seventy thousand Nicaraguans have been forced into exile over the past 5 years. Their stories are stories of resilience and survival, but their journey is far from over. This year alone, 222 political prisoners subjected to torture and imprisonment had their passports revoked, making them stateless and in desperate need of asylum.
Respond Crisis Translation, in collaboration with the Texas Nicaraguan Community is working at the frontlines of this humanitarian crisis. We are currently undertaking the critical task of translating documents for over 100 Nicaraguan asylum seekers. These documents which have to be submitted in English are lifelines for individuals seeking safety, dignity and freedom.
Our incredible team of Spanish translators, led by Tatiana Garcia, has already translated over 1,000 pages for these cases. The magnitude of the work is huge and ever-growing, and we need your support. These cases demand highly trained, trauma-informed translators who can navigate the intricacies of these disturbing stories with empathy and precision.
Unfortunately, translators are often systemically underpaid for their invaluable work. We at Respond Crisis Translation believe in fair wages for our translators to ensure that their dedication remains sustainable. By supporting our cause, you contribute to the livelihoods of these dedicated professionals, and you allow them to continue making a difference.
Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to our vision for a world where language is accessible for the basic right to safety, dignity and freedom.
