More about the context of trans and intersex individuals in Zimbabwe and the reason for the founding of Trans Smart Trust, from their website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“At the heart of our story lies the plight of transgender individuals in Zimbabwe and across the African continent. In a region where societal attitudes and legal frameworks often fail to recognize and protect the rights of transgender people, they face immense challenges and discrimination on a daily basis. Transgender individuals in Zimbabwe contend with a lack of legal recognition, limited access to healthcare services, and widespread social stigma. They often experience rejection from their families, communities, and even face violence and harassment. The struggle for transgender rights in Africa is a multifaceted battle, as it encompasses the fight for legal recognition, access to gender-affirming healthcare, protection from discrimination, and the promotion of inclusive education and employment opportunities. Despite the adversities they face, Trans Smart Trust champions transgender and intersex people’s well-being in Zimbabwe.”<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nContact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
