We Are APTN

🎊Introducing the Grand Launch for the #TransThriveProject for TDoV!! 🎊 This survey monitors hate crimes across Asia Pacific; by gathering data on transphobic experiences, we can fight against transphobia. Silence perpetuates violence. #TellYourStory: transthrive.weareaptn.org

2025 has been hard, but we've been working harder! 💪🏻 We'd love to share some of some of our highlights this year, and we'll be taking a rest before resuming the fight in 2026. Have a great holiday season, and we'll see you next year! #Alookbackat2025 #transrightsarehumanrights
