THRIVE Consortium priorities to advance trans rights globally for 2025 will focus on 3 thematic areas:
1. Health and HIV advocacy
- Secure access to gender-affirming care and integrate trans health needs into global health policies (WHO, PEPFAR, Global Fund, UNAIDS).
- Advocate for the full implementation of ICD-11, ensuring depathologization of trans identities.
- Improve access to PrEP and harm reduction services, recognizing the disproportionate HIV risk among trans populations.
- Conduct research on structural barriers in healthcare systems for trans people.
- Develop evidence-based health programs that reflect trans-specific needs.
2. Legal and policy advocacy
- Strengthen legal gender recognition and gender identity laws in regions where they do not exist.
- Resist restrictive policies and counteract the anti-gender movement.
- Engage in key policy mechanisms such as the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), African Union, and Latin American regional bodies.
- Embed trans rights within broader human rights frameworks, ensuring intersectional advocacy.
3. Movement building and capacity strengthening
- Equip trans-led organizations with advocacy, fundraising, and governance tools.
- Expand funding opportunities for financially sustainable trans movements.
- Foster cross-movement alliances to challenge reactionary policies and advance trans justice.
- Facilitate regional and global knowledge exchange, supporting collective strategy-building.
