TRANSFORM!

TRANSFORM! — a comprehensive project by Resistance aimed at improving trans people’s access to quality medical care and related social services.

Trans people often face a lack of awareness about transgender issues among medical and social service professionals, which creates barriers to accessing professional help.

The project combines research on community experiences, training for professionals, psychological support, and advocacy for the implementation of ICD-11. Particular attention is paid to increasing the positive visibility of trans people in society and expanding the circle of allies.
