What this factsheet is about:
This factsheet is a practical guide on getting educated, advocating for, and organizing awareness-raising sessions on the trans community in Albania aimed mainly at service providers, civil servants, psychologists, lawyers, journalists, students, human rights activists, and others. Speaking for and advocating for trans people is tricky and raises many ethical questions. If and when possible, you should seek the involvement of trans people in your activities and ensure that trans people speak on behalf of themselves and their community. If this is not possible, please clarify that you are talking as an ally and that it is essential to give voices to trans people and provide them with the space, resources, and safety to advocate on their own.
