GATE works to advance global justice for trans and gender diverse communities.
So, what does that mean? It means we work to ensure that trans and gender diverse:
- RIGHTS are recognized globally,
- PEOPLE have access to the healthcare they need, and
- COMMUNITIES achieve greater economic justice.
What will the next five years look like?
As a global organization, GATE’s focus is centered on serving organizations that are led by and for trans and gender diverse communities, and impacting change through participation in global bodies. Our work will center on the following key activities:
Strengthen Organizations: This includes building the capacity of groups led by trans and gender diverse people through training and technical assistance, developing and sharing tools and resources, regranting funds to member organizations, and creating spaces for networking and sharing knowledge.
Engaging with Global Advocacy: Acting in a leadership capacity within global health and human rights fora in order to give trans and gender diverse communities a voice, influence policy and guidelines, and convene activists around key opportunities for power-building and self-determination.
