Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide [TvT] provides an overview of the human rights situation of trans persons in different parts of the world and develops useful data and advocacy tools for international institutions, human rights organisations, the trans movement and the general public. It is a comparative, ongoing qualitative-quantitative research project conducted by TGEU's TvT team in close cooperation with 20 partner organizations and more than 50 trans activists and researchers in all six world regions.
The data collected are compiled and updated periodically and can be viewed in detail in English and Spanish on the TvT website: www.transrespect-transphobia.org.
The TvT 'Legal and Social Mapping' tables provide information on the legal and social situation of trans people in 116 countries in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Europe, and Oceania.
These TvT 'Legal and Social Mapping – World #2 – Criminalisation, Prosecution, State-Sponsored Discrimination and Hormones, Hormone Therapy and Gender Reassignment Treatment / Surgery' tables provide information on legal measures that criminalise trans people, showing important differences between criminalisation and actual prosecution. The tables also show different forms of state-sponsored discrimination ranging from legal exclusion of non-binary identities to e.g. exclusion from certain professions [teachers, police, military]. They also give insight into trans people's health-care situation, showing several aspects of medically supervised hormone therapy and gender reassignment treatments, including requirements like 'psychiatric diagnosis', as well as the availability of funding. They also list the existence of 'alternative practices', such as acquiring hormones on the black market or applying industrial silicone without medical supervision.
Legal and Social Mapping – World #2Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide
The 'Legal and Social Mapping' was produced by Transgender Europe's Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide [TvT] project [current as of Aug. 2014]. Continuous updates and more detailed information can be found at www.transrespect-transphobia.org. The TvT research report from 2012 discusses and contextualises these Mappings: www.transrespect-transphobia.org/uploads/downloads/Publications/TvT_research-report.pdf. www.transrespect-transphobia.org
