THIS IS OUR PATH

TOWARDS DIGNITY & JUSTICE

Our steps so far

2018

The Start

In 2024, the Trans United Clinic reached hundreds of clients who would otherwise have difficulty accessing healthcare. Through the collaboration with the GGD Amsterdam, warm handovers are realized within the GGD chain, which guarantees continuity of care. The clinic has played a key role in reaching refugees and undocumented individuals with HIV and STI prevention.

From 2018

Trans Day of Remembrance

The annual commemoration of Trans Day of Remembrance attracts hundreds of visitors and has developed into an important moment of community building, mourning, and solidarity in Amsterdam.

Queerwork

The Queerwork program has supported dozens of LGBTIQ+ refugees on their path to work or education.

Public events such as markets and networking meetings have not only helped individual participants, but have also contributed to the visibility and destigmatization of queer refugees in Amsterdam.

Our mission

Strengthening the position and promoting the emancipation of BPOC trans communities in Europe, with an emphasis on:

• Visibility and leadership of trans BPOC people
• Access to trans-specific and sexual health care
• Support for trans sex workers
• HIV prevention and care<
• Labour force participation and economic independence

Our vision

A Europe in which trans BPOC people themselves set the agenda.

Our vision is a Europe in which all trans people, regardless of ethnic background, socioeconomic status, residence status or occupation, are fully recognized in their identity
and have equal access to healthcare, work, safety and social
participation. Trans United Europe wants a Europe in which trans BPOC people themselves set the agenda
and are in a position to realize lasting change.
