The Conference will be a unique and critical gathering for up to 200 TGD activists and key stakeholders from around the world.

This Conference is organized jointly with APCOM, the Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN), the East Africa Trans Health and Advocacy Network (EATHAN), the European Sex Workers Rights Alliance (ESWA), Gender Dynamix, RedLacTrans, Transgender Europe (TGEU), Trans United Europe, Transgender Law Center, Transgender Red Umbrella and United Caribbean Trans Network (UCTrans) – TGD and sex workers networks representing all world regions.
