WPATH Biennial International Symposium - Thailand
Event description
Transgender Health from Global Perspectives
This is a group of four sessions providing a chance for conference attendees to hear trans people from Asia and the Pacific talking about their work in trans health. We expect that up to around 30 individuals, drawn from as far afield as South Asia and the Pacific Islands, will share information about their communities, the cultural, social and legal environments in which they live, and the gender affirmative, general and sexual health and healthcare issues that concern those communities.
They will also talk about some of the more interesting and important initiatives happening in each of these areas, in many cases with the involvement of, or input by, their communities. One session will focus exclusively on trans men’s issues. All sessions will schedule discussion time. Community partners for this series are: Thai Transgender Alliance; Asia-Pacific Transgender Network; and Global Action for Trans* Equality.
Support for this series is provided by UNAIDS, UNDP, WHO and UN Women.
