Amnesty meetup at TransAmsterdam

Amnesty meetup at TransAmsterdam

Last week we hosted a meetup with Amnesty, Kimberly and Mariana Sepulveda, two inspiring trans women from Paraguay 🇵🇾

🔸 Kimberly and Mariana talked us through the reality of being transgender in Paraguay and the numerous obstacles to overcome.

Lack of medical support in transitioning, being stripped from basic human rights, exclusion from education, impossibility to change your legal name on the identity card and so much more.

🔸 The Q&A session helped us understand the emotional impact that all of this can have on a human being, and we are grateful for having had the opportunity to get to know them, show support and spread awareness

Thank you so much for sharing your insightful knowledge and experience with us 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
