Public Statements

PATHSA is committed to advocating for equitable, evidence-based healthcare for trans and gender-diverse people. This page serves as a repository for our official statements on critical issues impacting healthcare providers and the broader trans and gender-diverse community, particularly in relation to healthcare access and policy changes. Here, you’ll find statements addressing local and global developments, including our Position Statement on Evidence-Based Care for Young People and our response to the rollback of USAID policies, which has had detrimental effects on gender-affirming care in South Africa.

We are in the process of uploading older statements, ensuring a comprehensive archive of PATHSA’s ongoing advocacy efforts.
