WPATH has a unique responsibility to protect and promote the rights of trans and gender diverse people and, by association, intersex people, in order to ensure that it does not tacitly act as a tool of oppression against those on whom their clinical and research practice is focused. // WPATH tiene la responsabilidad única de proteger y promover los derechos de las personas trans y de género diverso y, por asociación, de las personas intersex, a fin de garantizar que no actúe tácitamente como herramienta de opresión contra aquelles en quienes que se enfocan sus prácticas clínicas y de investigación.
1 December 2018 is the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day. As a key population, trans and gender diverse people are still 13 times more likely to be living with HIV than the general population. Today, GATE opens the call to join our International Working Group on Trans Masculine People and HIV.
Akahatá, GATE, ILGA World and TGEU have brought together 50 intersex, trans and gender diverse activists from around the world to Buenos Aires, Argentina for the 25th WPATH Symposium from 2-6 November 2018. We will be sharing information during the WPATH Symposium about our engagement and actions, so please follow GATE’s social media for updates.
This tool and accompanying training guide, which are a compilation and adaptation of various resources available to civil society and developed by key agencies providing support to communities and civil society organizations, aim to build the monitoring and oversight capacity of the transgender communities engaged in Global Fund processes.
