Finding Our Place Finding Our Voice

Throughout Asia and the Pacific resources dedicated to transgender issues are extremely limited and very few are directly in the hands of transgender communities.The Asia Pacific Transgender Network mapping exercise is a crucial initiative. It contributes to progress in transgender welfare in Asia and the Pacific and to fostering stronger links across the region.

In this first attempt to map out transgender organizations, the report reflects the diverse range of amazing work being done with limited – or even no – funding. It shows the deep commitment and dedication of the transgender community across the region, whether in the area of HIV and health or in broader rights issues such as legal gender recognition, and legal protection from discrimination.
