Ali’s story, one young man’s journey to Canada

After facing violent homophobia in his country of birth, Ali (a pseudonym) left seeking a safe place to live. In this podcast, Ali shares his experiences growing up in a community where his sexual orientation put him at risk for physical violence, the decision to come to Canada, and what it is like to be a young refugee living in Toronto. He talks about the challenges he faced once he arrives and the surprising turns his life has taken over the past year.

This episode is not an interview; the entire podcast is Ali sharing his story.
