Across Asia and the Pacific, transgender and gender diverse people face entrenched stigma and discrimination across various aspects of their lives: legal recognition, employment, housing and health services are just the tip of the iceberg. As well, they are often the victims of hate crimes. This reality undermines their fundamental human rights and severely compromises their well-being and the ability to live a fulfilling and healthy life, with dignity.
To address these barriers, APTN engages with a range of partners to support, organise and advocate for comprehensive healthcare and policies that ensure the protection of legal, social and human rights for trans and gender diverse people.
