This guide will provide a broad introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with particular focus on SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and their links to trans and gender diverse populations and advocacy.
With sufficient knowledge of the SDGs and how this human rights instrument works, the principle “Leave no one behind” can become one of the most powerful advocacy
tools trans and gender diverse organizations can use! For that reason, GATE updated previous guides to ensure they meet the current and future needs and developments and combined them into a single one, now titled “The Sustainable Development Goals & Trans Engagement Guide”.
