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.
