Trans Advocacy Week is a vital initiative at a time when trans people are often talked about but rarely listened to. Each year, from June to July, a coalition of civil society organisations supports trans activists in amplifying their voices in the UN, one of the world’s most influential human rights spaces. Since 2017, more than 60 trans and gender diverse activists have engaged with the UN in Geneva during Trans Advocacy Week.

Funding worth 90,000 Euros available for four of TGEU's member organisations. Find out how to apply.
