We work for the rights of the transgender community in Chile and in the region through different lines of action: Peer support and psychological care, Accompaniment of discrimination and violence cases, Political Advocacy, Trans Health, Social assistance, trans families, trans children and adolescents, trans community development, communication actions, education and training.

 

Mision

We build community from transfeminist activism, for the defense and promotion of the human rights of trans diversities and their empowerment.
