The „Legal and Social Mapping 2014“ of Transgender Europe’s “Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide” project is the most comprehensive and detailed comparative mapping of the human rights situation of trans people worldwide to date. It is designed to serve as an advocacy tool for trans activists around the world.

The following world regions are listed: Africa (9 countries), Asia (18 countries), Central and South America (25 countries), Europe (49 countries), and Oceania (17 countries). The „Legal and Social Mapping 2014“ consists of three volumes of a world mapping and two regional mappings covering Europe and Oceania.
