Description
TGEU will support efforts across multiple European countries to advance the rights of marginalised trans communities and their rights to recognition of private life in the EU – for many a precondition to a dignified experience in digital spaces. Virtual identification, online privacy, and the ability to lodge complaints about online hate speech will often depend on accurate (analogue) legal recognition.
Specifically, the project will seek to assist trans sub-populations affected further by discrimination on grounds of:
- age;
- gender identity and expression;
- civil status; and/ or
- parental status.
Potential litigation steps span across administrative, judicial, appellate, data protection levels.
"...the rights of marginalised trans communities and their rights to recognition of private life in the EU - for many a precondition to a dignified experience in digital spaces."
Strategic Goals
To enhance the legal protection as a precondition to accessing digital rights to four identified further marginalised trans communities (and their spouses and dependent family members) across multiple jurisdictions.
