Escaping escalating violence and harassment, she was aided by Rainbow Railroad, which saw a 20,000+ surge in applications last year amid global anti-LGBTQ+ crackdowns. Her journey to refuge was fraught: a failed attempt to reach Amsterdam, a U.S. asylum program later shut down, and finally, approval through Canada’s Government Assisted Refugees program. Now, despite looming threats from funding cuts and restrictive immigration policies, Walker is preparing to celebrate her first Pride in Toronto — a powerful symbol of resilience and hope for a future where safety isn’t a luxury but a right.
