On this International Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate with our transgender, gender diverse and nonbinary folks. We salute those that have been able to access gender-affirming healthcare and stand by those who are unable to live freely because of social circumstances, inability to access gender-affirming healthcare, or any form of marginalisation and discrimination.

We acknowledge the strengths and vulnerabilities of our trans communities navigating this cis normative world, and today, particularly, add our concern for the well-being of the LGBTIQA+ community in Uganda.

May we keep on doing hope in these difficult times.
