Webinar on the rights of trans people in prison: Legal insights, key resources, and community support
Join us for a webinar on the Rights of Trans People in Prison, where we’ll discuss the latest policy and legal developments on this important topic. You’ll hear from legal experts, get insights from crucial publications and learn about community responses, including examples from Turkey.
Webinar highlights
Legal insights
You will hear first-hand insights on litigation strategies from Agata Bzdyń, the legal representative for the applicant in the W.W. v. Poland case. The landmark judgment from the European Court of Human Rights established that by denying access to hormone therapy to a trans woman in prison, Polish authorities violated her rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Key resources
We’ll walk you through TGEU and PRI’s Placement of trans and non-binary people: A guide for prisons and the recommendations from the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture, two key publications from last year.
Community Support
Be inspired by examples of community-driven initiatives in Turkey that are making a difference.
