Access Chapter 2 is before the JHB High Court as amicus curiae in the case of Nthabiseng Mokoena, a trans woman in prison. We argued that Gender Affirming Health Care is essential, not optional, & denying it violates dignity, equality & health rights. 🌈⚖️ #AccessChapter2

[Access Chapter 2 @AccessChapter2]

⚖️ Tomorrow, JHB High Court hears the #NthabisengMokoena case.

She fights for access to gender-affirming healthcare in prison.
A victory could set a precedent for trans rights in SA correctional facilities.

🌈 Trans rights are human rights, even behind bars.
