There aren’t a lot of organizations that truly have a global focus when it comes to transgender-led organizations who are working on HIV and AIDS. So I think partnerships are really important, in particular, partnerships among trans organizations. Something that I've been really pleased with, partnering with GATE, is that we have been able to leverage resources, the limited resources that each of our organizations brings to the table, and we've been able to accomplish more with those limited resources than we would be able to accomplish by ourselves, supporting one another in the process.

Our History
GATE was born out of a need for a central body to lobby for trans rights at the global level, particularly at the United Nations. Founded in 2009, GATE sought to develop a global coordinating network for trans organizing to transform the systematic exclusion of trans people and their issues from international decision-making and research processes.

Published

GATE is hosting this AIDS 2024 Satellite session on Wednesday, 24 July to increase awareness and knowledge of trans men in the HIV response and advance their inclusion for a healthier future.

With the Global AIDS Targets 2025 fast approaching, HIV continues to disproportionately impact the trans and gender diverse community. The exclusion of trans men and gender diverse assigned-female-at-birth (AFAB) persons from the global HIV response remains a significant barrier to achieving equity in healthcare.

Purpose & Outcome

This Satellite session aims to challenge the exclusion of trans men from the HIV response and highlight innovative approaches for inclusion by bringing together diverse experts, including researchers, policymakers, health professionals and activists.

Participants will engage in dynamic discussions and explore emerging evidence that demonstrates that the inclusion of marginalized groups can significantly enhance health responses. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding and practical strategies to prioritize inclusivity and ensure access to care for all, regardless of gender identity.
