Buenos Aires, Argentina – Responding to the needs of Latin American and Caribbean transgender and intersex individuals, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission convened the first-ever Transgender and Intersex Training Institute to help plan for the future of the trans and intersex movements in LAC.
The two-week training institute took place in Cordoba, Argentina in October, where a seven-member coordinating team and 19 activists and advocates from 14 countries trained together in the areas of human rights, transgender and intersex politics and activism, and organizational development. The participants shared experiences, successes, failures, and strategies to ensure full and equal social and political rights for trans and intersex individuals.
