TGEU at the UN Trans Advocacy Week 2026: Bringing trans voices from Albania and Kyrgyzstan to the global stage 

In June 2026, the UN Trans Advocacy Week (TAW) 2026 brought trans and gender diverse activists from across the world to Geneva to connect their local struggles with the international human rights system.
