Trans in Action (TIA Belize) is the recognized network representing transgender persons in Belize. The network was legally established in December 2014. It is the first and only NGO by and for transgender persons living in Belize. TIA Belize was established as the voice of all transgender persons in Belize and is constituted as a group of persons that seek to improve the quality of life of their peers through advocacy, information/education, and communication activities using a human rights-based approach. These initiatives seek to enhance their individual and institutional capacities and promote respect for their human rights and dignity as transgender persons. Since its inception, TIA Belize has been collaborating with various organizations such as USAID/PASCA LMG, the National AIDS Commission, UNIBAM, UNDP, and REDLACTRANS, among others. These programs have assisted TIA Belize in formalizing itself as an organization, capacity building, strategic planning for joint advocacy on particular issues and capacity building for its members in different areas such as human rights, advocacy, sensitization training etc.
This 2-day workshop took place from 24-25 November 2018 in Belize City, Belize, with 15 trans activists.
