Founded by our community, for our community

The Voice Organization (TVO) was established in January 2024 by a group of trans and gender-diverse individuals. We are dedicated to advocating for the rights, dignity and inclusion of trans and gender-diverse persons, and we work to foster equality, increase the resources available to our communities, and raise their awareness and visibility.

Trans and gender-diverse people face serious challenges because of the lack of information on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Expression and Sex Characteristics (SOGIESC) and the absence of legal recognition for their identities. These gaps feed violence, harassment, discrimination and stigma that undermine people’s integrity and dignity.

Our communities also lack spaces and forums to share their stories, build self-awareness and find a sense of self-worth and belonging. The Voice creates those spaces, and supports people to embrace their authentic identities and to live visibly and confidently within their communities.
