Tuesday 4 August 2009: Info night Trans-activism from Latin America to the world

How is the situation of transsexuals in Peru? How do transactivists fight for their rights in Latin America? How does this activism compare to activism of transsexuals in other parts of the world?

Come and listen to what the Peruvian trans activist Belissa Andía Pérez has to say about this! Belissa works at the Runa Institute in Lima (Peru) that researches (trans) gender issues. This institute has a lot of experience with transactivism. Belissa is also part of several Trans-activist grassroots groups and is a member of the ILGA-Latin America network. Beslissa would love to share her experiences of transactivism.
