We welcomed a delegation of trans and gender-diverse community leaders to our Headquarters. “As a community that’s historically been excluded from access to services, we know all too well that protecting everyone’s health means also protecting everyone’s rights.” said delegates

During the trans advocacy week we visited The Global Fund I had separate meetings with some of the staff members presenting that a lot of the trans and sex workers community members have been left out of program, and the program is not always inclusive for everybody #UNTransAdvocacy

During the Trans Advocacy Week, I together with other trans activists had a meeting with the World Health Organization (WHO) The participants made speeches and proposals about the gaps in the healthcare sector. Access to healthcare for trans people in Armenia is in a deplorable state.

Today we had a demonstration of sex workers in front of the UN building, in support of all sex workers. This demonstration also refers to a report presented by an independent reporter, which is completely against sex workers, ignoring the recommendations of sex workers.

October 1st, the International Day against Domestic Violence. Unfortunately, last year and this year, horrifying incidents occurred in which trans women were brutally murdered in their own homes by their boyfriends.
