To mark Trans Awareness Week (13 to 19 November), we talked to two people who have contributed to the Human Dignity Trust’s report Injustice exposed: The criminalisation of trans people and its impacts.
We discussed how such worldwide criminalisation came about, what it means now and what the future might hold.
Some of the stories in the report show exactly why Trans Day of Remembrance (20 November) is important.
Speakers
- Tamara Adrián, lawyer, doctor in law, professor of law, lawmaker at the National Assembly of Venezuela (2016 to 2021)
- Zhan Chiam, programme coordinator (gender identity and expression, sport and human rights) at ILGA World
