Global Action for Trans* Equality (GATE)

Health: gate campaigns for greater community-led participation in health responses and for an end to human rights violations that drive health inequities. By engaging with technical and political processes at the Global level, we challenge the historic exclusion of Trans and gender diverse people from Global health responses.

Human rights: gate advocates for the inclusion of Trans and gender diverse people in human rights frameworks at the Global level. By engaging at the united nations, we increase awareness and knowledge of our communities and collaboratively campaign for our rights with decision-makers at the highest levels of Global governance.

Movement building: gate provides organizational training, technical and mentorship support to community leaders, and small grants to trans-led organizations at the national and regional levels. We also provide these organizations with access to international human rights mechanisms and decision-making spaces to lobby directly to key stakeholders, and we engage directly with donors to push for greater funding for our communities. By enhancing the capacity and resources of Trans and gender diverse organizations and networks, we are handing our communities the tools for self-advancement and sustainability.
