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.

[Trans Youth Initiative Uganda (TYI-Uganda) @UgandaTrans]

She wakes up every day knowing the world was not built for her. And she steps into it anyway.

In a small rural community in Uganda, being transgender isn't just an identity. It's a daily negotiation. Which health facility might actually treat you with dignity, and which will turn you away? Whether today is a day your community feels safe, or one where you keep your head down. What it costs to carry a dream when the systems around you are designed to interrupt it.

And still she persists. They persist. We persist.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. We are not here for symbolic visibility. Not the kind that lives in hashtags and organisational statements and dies by midnight.

For many transgender and gender-diverse people in rural Uganda, visibility comes with real risk. Being seen is not always safe. What we need, what we are demanding, is not just to be seen. It is to be protected. Included. Respected.

At TYI-Uganda, we see this every day. The resilience. The strength. But also the gaps in healthcare, in livelihoods, in justice that keep failing our communities.

So today, we shift:
From visibility to accountability. From recognition to rights. From survival to dignity.

Rural trans people are human, not in theory. In lived reality. Our identities are valid. Our rights are non-negotiable.

Until dignity, safety, healthcare, livelihoods, and justice reach everyone, our work is not done.

Our existence is not up for debate. It is resistance. It is power. It is true.

[Trans Youth Initiative Uganda (TYI-Uganda) @UgandaTrans]

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.

Transgender Day of Remembrance is a moment of honour, love, and collective strength.
Today, we remember our trans siblings whose lives were taken by violence, prejudice, and hate. We carry their names in our hearts, and we refuse to let their stories fade. We honour. We rise.🏳️‍⚧️🕯️

A year ago, my life hung in the balance. Today, I celebrate the second chance granted to me. No arrests, no justice, but I refuse to let fear define me. I will continue to live, to love, and to fight for a world where violence is never the answer.
