TRANS*PARENT
We strive for the empowerment, social justice, promotion of rights and positive social changes for the benefit of trans men, women and other non-cis persons. The organisation was founded in Prague in the spring of 2015 by a group of trans activists in response to the urgent need to create a support space and change policies to promote the advancement of transgender equality. Trans*parent thus works towards understanding and acceptance of trans and non-cis persons on both the social and the legislative level.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
We believe that gender diversity is an integral element of every society and as such deserves to be supported, protected and celebrated.
We believe in the freedom of self-determination, we are opposed to the fetishisation, pathologisation and treatment of transgender identities as a mental disorder.
We believe that trans and non-cis persons have the right to enjoy their personal, professional and social life free of violence, stigmatization, discrimination and unequal treatment.
WHAT WE DO
Create a safe space for transgender and non-cis persons to meet and share experience and mutual support.
Organize support groups for adults and teenagers and offer individual psychological, social and legal counselling free of charge.
Raise awareness regarding transgender issues through discussions, workshops or happenings and through the means of an online blog.
Work with media and the public towards creating a positive, realistic and unbiased representation of transgender persons and their life.
Open up dialogue on current topics related to trans issues, organising discussions, events and meetings both within the community and externally.
Create an active and collaborative community of non-cis persons regardless of their self-identification, supporting trans activism.
