After UN Trans Advocacy Week (UN TAW) 2023, which took place from 18 to 24 June 2023, GATE asked two delegates about their personal perspectives and highlights of UN TAW 2023.
Read Andreo Gustavo and Douglas da Silva’s answers to three questions below.
United Nations Trans Advocacy Week (UN TAW) is a collective project by non-governmental organizations, offering trans activists a platform to make their voices heard on a global scale and in international human rights spaces. It’s a chance to bring attention to the challenges and discrimination faced by trans and gender diverse people and to promote equality, acceptance, and understanding.
APTN, Akahatá, GATE, ILGA, Iranti, RFSL, STP and TGEU celebrate the new Report released by the Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), Victor Madrigal-Borloz. We express our sincere gratitude for his contribution to changing historical marginalization, and for giving trans and gender diverse people’s human rights the careful attention they deserve.
