Trans and gender diverse human rights mapping project
Explore our analysis of human rights threats facing trans and gender diverse people in Australia, mapping current and emerging concerns affecting this
Summary
We are conducting a national project mapping threats to trans and gender diverse (TGD) human rights in Australia.
The project aims to map current and emerging threats to TGD human rights, including:
- actions of individuals and groups
- circumstances and organised events
- any situation or arising trends.
In 2024, we requested input from individuals and civil society organisations (CSOs) with relevant background, expertise and lived experience in issues impacting TGD people through a submission process.
Areas under investigation include, but are not limited to:
- anti-trans mobilisation, dis- and misinformation, and extremism and radicalisation
- education, employment, healthcare, housing, migration, service provision and the law
- non-personal information relating to anti-TGD abuse, discrimination, harassment, vilification and violence.
We welcomed submissions in any areas and on any topics relating to TGD human rights. We will publish the findings in a public report alongside recommendations to governments and CSOs.
We asked for non-personal information, such as analysis and research, not personal accounts, experiences, or stories.
Subject matter experts
We received submissions from specialists including:
- academics and research institutions
- advocacy and activist organisations or groups
- community-controlled health organisations
- healthcare professionals and organisations
- legal professionals and organisations
- policy makers and workers
- service providers.
Submissions will be published with the report.
