What makes us unique?
We take pride in being an international organization that is led by trans, gender diverse, and intersex staff and board members from all regions of the world.
Founded in 2009 by Justus Eisfeld and Mauro Cabral Grinspan, today GATE remains the only international organization focused on issues relating to gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics.
The foundation of GATE’s work is transforming the systemic exclusion of trans, gender diverse and intersex (TGDI) people and their issues from international decision-making processes. In our work, we seek to attain the highest level of health, wellbeing and human rights for our communities.
Working in partnership with regional and national TGDI organizations, we support community-led organizing, advocacy and knowledge generation to create strong movements led by and for TGDI people from grassroots to global level.
Erika Castellanos, Executive Director
