Join our report launch webinar – Know Your Rights: How EU Directives Protect Trans People
Our latest report aims to empower trans communities to better understand and claim their fundamental rights. It also helps legal professionals, equality bodies, and policymakers to understand their legal obligations to ensure equal protection. This is especially urgent under EU law following the landmark Commission v Hungary (C-769/22) ruling.
The session will cover the report’s core findings, offer a legal analysis of key EU Directives, and include an interactive Q&A session.
