 Tina and Renee have been together for a decade now, not only as a couple but partners in activism, and everything they do. They both have a lived experience as queer refugee women. Currently, they are both PhD Candidates at the Australian National University and are advocates for the rights and inclusion of LGBTIQA+ people from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds.

 MV begins by giving us more detail around the Queer Sisterhood Project, and talks in more detail about a video animation put together by Tina and Renee, showing the stories from refugee women, about their experiences, their reality, their sexuality and gender.
