Throughout this week, we will be highlighting the 3rd Uganda National Trans Forum.

Forty trans & gender-diverse leaders spent two days proving movements grounded in joy, healing & collective care aren't weakerโ€”they're more powerful, more strategic, more capable of lasting transformation.

This #InternationalWomensDay, we stand BEYOND BINARIES.

Trans women are women. Our womanhood is not a debateโ€”it is our truth, our power, and our future.

In the face of rising fascism, and systemic violence, we are here. We are visible. We are unbreakable.
