Nicolas Noguier

Nicolas Noguier is the former president and founder of the LGBT organization Le Refuge supporting homeless LGBT+ youth in France. He resigned at the end of February 2021, after an external audit confirmed the irregularities revealed by the newspaper Mediapart.^[1] He is accused of rape by a young man who had been hosted by Le Refuge.^[2]

Early life[]

Noguier grew up in Saint-Thibéry in a rural area as the child of winegrowers. He grew up in a religious household.^[3] Noguier was not forced into homelessness himself, but did face negativity after his coming out during his teenage years. At the age of 22, Noguier survived a suicide attempt.

Le Refuge[]

Noguier founded Le Refuge in 2003. The first residents of the program were housed temporarily in a local hotel before the first structure dedicated full-time to the organization was built.^[4]
