The Unite! Advocate! Thrive! Global Trans Conference, held on 20—21 July 2024 in Munich, Germany, convened 200 activists, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders from the trans and gender diverse community. The Conference addressed global issues within this community, with three main program themes: health, human rights, and movement building.
Movement building is a concept that goes beyond mere activism to encompass the creation of lasting networks, resilient communities, and strategic alliances that can withstand and overcome the multiple challenges faced by the trans and gender diverse community. At a time when anti-rights and anti-gender movements are gaining ground, the need for a unified and agile trans and gender diverse movement has never been more pressing.
This report consolidates the key insights from the movement building program of the Global Trans Conference, which included one plenary session and four breakout sessions that were specifically designed to address challenges, exchange best practices, and develop strategies for future trans and gender diverse advocacy and GATE’s strategic planning.
