WELCOME TO THE

"Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide" research project

"Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide" (TvT) is a comparative, ongoing qualitative-quantitative research project conducted by Transgender Europe. The project 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 organizations, the trans movement and the general public.

A research team from Transgender Europe is coordinating the project, which is funded by the Open Society Institute / Soros Foundation. An Advisory Board, comprised of international LGBT, trans and human rights activists from Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Europe, North America, and Oceania, will help mentor the project. The project is designed to cooperate with partner organizations in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Europe and Oceania.

The TvT research project is a work in progress. The data collected will be periodically compiled and updated.
