Since anti-gender movements are frequently well-connected with each other transnationally and inform each other’s strategies, activist resistance also needs to be informed by transnational experience. Unfortunately, activists often work in silos, lack access to information on “what works,” and have few positive examples from which to draw. As part of its work on anti-gender opposition, GATE sees its role in convening trans activists from various parts of the world to enable knowledge and experience sharing to support national organizations in their advocacy efforts.
This report draws upon conversations from two webinars held by GATE on 24th and 28th April 2022 and features contributions from Viviane Vergueiro (International Trans Fund), Luíza Veado (Outright International), Chamindra Weerawardhana (ILGA World), Levan Berianidze (GATE), Natia Gvianishvili (RFSL), Alexus D’Marco (UCTRANS), Alexandra Rodríguez de Ruiz (El/La Para TransLatinas), Zsa-Zsa Fisher (PAN Africa ILGA).
