Today, on TDOV we celebrate the strength and resilience of trans and gender diverse people. We also recognize the ongoing challenges stigma, violence, and limited opportunities. Visibility alone is not enough. We call for real change to ensure safety and dignity for all. #TDOV

Today is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of visibility for transgender people community and the urgent need to ensure their safety, dignity, and equitable access to services. True progress means turning recognition into lasting inclusion and protection

Transphobia is not an opinion. It is harmful. It is violence. It is systemic exclusion. On this Trans Day of Visibility, we are not just celebrating presence; we are confronting a reality. Across Uganda, trans and gender-diverse people continue to face: Criminalization and state-backed discrimination, Barriers to healthcare, education, and livelihoods, Violence, displacement, and erasure. Let’s be clear: Trans people are not dangerous. Transphobia is. Visibility without protection is not enough. Recognition without rights is not justice. At the Uganda National Trans Forum, we are calling for: Accountability for violence and discrimination Inclusion in national health and development systems Protection of the dignity, safety, and rights of trans and gender-diverse people This is not just about being seen. This is about being safe, being heard, and being respected. Our existence is not up for debate. It is a fact. It is resistance. It is power. #TransDayOfVisibility #EndTransphobia #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransLives #UNTF

@WomanWhoSaysNo @hillarytaylorvi Trans women are not mocking women. Many of us are surviving violence, exclusion, and discrimination under the same patriarchal systems feminism seeks to dismantle. Solidarity means fighting oppression, not deciding which women deserve dignity Let’s be guided

@hillarytaylorvi you're a man who has solidarity with misogynists. same patriarchy as always. women fought to escape gender roles not to be defined by them. men in womanface aren't breaking gender norms, they are hateful assholes who are mocking women and our oppression.

solidarity to the trans women 🏳️‍⚧️

We held an Integrated Orientation and Capacity-Building Meeting on HIV, TB, and Malaria bringing together Faith leaders, health workers,Peer educators to advance inclusive health access for trans and gender-diverse people Supported by @UgandaTrans & Gender Equality Fund(GEF)

When communities lead, health systems follow. @TAYCOFUg is doing exactly what our Small Grants Program was designed to support: building bridges between faith, health, and trans community needs. Grateful for this partnership. 🏳️‍⚧️ #InclusiveHealth #GEF

From Kampala to Accra, Dakar & Lagos, we must expose the truth: homosexuality has always been African, but these anti-gay laws are foreign colonial relics being used as a coordinated 'Export of Hate' to undermine our sovereignty—a trend we will outlast with resilience. 🏳️‍🌈🌍"

Announcement 📣

Last week we joined our partners at @UgandaTrans and NTF to identify and map our SRHR priorities in the state of the current SRHR for TGs in all their different diversities. We also laid out collective responsibilities as trans organizations towards shaping the a just free SRHR.

Really glad and grateful to be have been selected to be apart of this amazing program, space and people. Growing as a leader, and a service provider has its perks but when you have support systems like these, you have not right to be afraid. Thank you @SegalFoundation for this opportunity. #AVFsummit2026 segalfamilyfoundation.org/fellows/brian-…

The State of Trans SRHR in Uganda 2026 Conference Day 1 | Community Building Day — “Knowing Ourselves.” Before we faced the stakeholders, we faced each other. On March 4, trans and gender-diverse people from Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern Uganda gathered in a closed, safe space for the first time to map our health realities across HIV, TB, malaria, and SRHR. We mapped what happens when a trans person walks into a health facility in every region of this country. We explored the barriers disease by disease, region by region. We shared models that are already effective in our communities. And in the Storytelling Circle, some of us shared experiences we had never spoken aloud in a public space before. By the end of the day, we had reached a consensus. We agreed on our priority asks to the Ministry of Health, what we are prepared to contribute, and selected community presenters to carry our evidence into the stakeholder room the next morning. Day 1 was the foundation. “This conference was the first time in Uganda that trans and gender-diverse people from every region sat in one room, documented our health realities, and presented that evidence directly to the people who run the programmes that are supposed to serve us. That has never happened before. We have never had a national platform to say: this is what HIV access looks like for us, this is what TB looks like, this is what malaria looks like, this is what SRHR looks like. Now we do. And it was built entirely by the community — our evidence, our voices, our asks.” — Nana Millers, Executive Director, TYI-Uganda This work is implemented under the Gender Equality Fund, an initiative established by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in partnership with GSK and ViiV Healthcare to support gender-transformative and community-led health responses. #TransHealthUganda #TransSRHR #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #TransRightsAreHealthRights #95-95-95 #GlobalFund #CommunityLed #TYIUganda

For years, she endured gender-based violence in silence, held back by fear and stigma. By sharing stories like hers, we remind the world that trans women and gender-diverse people also face GBV and deserve safety, dignity, and support. #NangeMovement #OurStoriesMatter #EndGBV

Last week, we made history. TYI-Uganda, in collaboration with @transforumug and @UKPC_UG hosted THE STATE OF TRANS SRHR IN UGANDA 2026, the first national conference in Uganda to address trans health across HIV, TB, malaria, and SRHR. 4–5 March | Kampala Trans and gender-diverse people from all four regions of Uganda came together to document health barriers, share what’s working, and build consensus on what we need from the health system. Our evidence. Our voices. Our asks. On Day 2, we presented our findings directly to UNAIDS, Ministry of Health program leads, TASO Uganda, HRAPF, and development partners. For the first time, trans and gender-diverse communities sat at the table with the program leaders and spoke with one voice. What we produced: • The first community-generated evidence base on trans health in Uganda • Regional findings from Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern Uganda • Priority recommendations to MoH across HIV, TB, malaria, and SRHR • A Community Position Paper (coming soon) There is no disaggregated data on trans health in Uganda. Not in HIV, not in TB, and not in malaria.That changes now. Thank you to our partners: @UKPC_UG @hrapf_uganda, Ark Wellness Hub, Ice Breakers Uganda, Alive Medical Services,UHAI-EASHRI, LINK Partners, and every trans and gender-diverse institution that showed up. And to every trans and gender-diverse person who shared their story, you are the reason this exists. This is not the end; it is the beginning. Follow-up is in progress. The Community Position Paper will be released within four weeks. Accountability reviews will occur at 1, 3, and 6 months. This work is implemented under the Gender Equality Fund, an initiative established by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in partnership with GSK and ViiVHealthcare to support gender-transformative and community-led health responses. Nothing about us, without us. #TransHealthUganda #TransSRHR #95-95-95 #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #GlobalFund #TransRightsAreHealthRights

Today, the world celebrates women, and at TYI-Uganda, we are loud and unapologetic about who we celebrate: transgender women, gender-diverse people, and every femme soul who dares to exist boldly in a country that has tried to erase them. Your womanhood is not up for debate. Your femininity is not a performance. Your life is not a political statement; it is sacred. To our trans and gender diverse sisters in rural southwestern Uganda who wake up every day and choose themselves anyway, this day is yours. 🌸💜 Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at TYI-Uganda. #IWD2026 #InternationalWomensDay #TransWomenAreWomen #TYIUganda #TransUganda #TransJoy #GiveToGain
