Yesterday, in the framework of Trans advocacy week, we visited the U.S. Mission Geneva .I presented the situation of rights of Trans people in Armenia and Caucasus. #UNTransAdvocacy




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.




During #PrideMonth, we recognize the work of Lilit Martirosyan, a trailblazing transgender woman in Armenia and founder of Right Side NGO – an NGO dedicated to protecting the rights of the transgender community – who puts her life on the line daily in her fight for equality.
