Stories of Transgender Healthcare Discrimination in Thailand

Описание: To bring attention to the healthcare barriers and struggles faced by transgender people in Asia and the Pacific, APTN is launching the #TransHealthDiscrimination campaign, beginning with Thailand. We have produced a short video of Thai trans people describing their experiences, speaking directly to healthcare providers about their needs, and giving advice to other trans patients seeking healthcare. This video is paired with a photo series where Thai trans people speak to their experiences with discrimination in healthcare under the hashtag #TransHealthDiscrimination.

In addition to highlighting experiences with discrimination, this campaign also seeks to distribute the Trans Health Blueprint: A Blueprint for the Provision of Comprehensive Care for Trans People and Trans Communities in Asia and the Pacific. The Trans Health Blueprint is a document generated with input from trans people, medical practitioners, and other community stakeholders from around Asia and the Pacific and provides direction on healthcare for trans people. This document, the first of its kind in Asia, lays the groundwork for discussions around trans healthcare, trans rights, and trans-focused violence by amassing and centralizing information, models, and resources for trans people in Asia and the Pacific.
