The rise of anti-gender and anti-rights movements poses significant challenges to trans and gender diverse activists worldwide. These movements threaten the progress made in advancing trans rights globally and create a hostile environment for activism. To address these challenges, it is crucial for activists to have a space to share their experiences, effective strategies, and resources.
To facilitate this space at the global level, GATE has invited three regional leaders to highlight their successes and challenges in tackling anti-gender attacks in their respective African contexts. They will share best practices and key resources that you can adapt to your local context to improve your organization’s capacity to respond to anti-gender attacks in your region.

Participants will engage in an online dynamic discussion and explore lessons learned from African activists who have been tackling anti-gender actors in their local contexts.
