Research analysis.

We seek to collect data to assess the type, prevalence, trends and patterns of violence and discrimination against trans and gender diverse persons and – on that basis - inform policies and legislative actions and address gaps in investigations, prosecution and the remedies provided

Our work seeks to review laws and policies that exacerbate police abuse and harassment, extortion and acts of violence against people based on gender identity (e.g. laws based on public decency, morals, health and security, including those on begging and loitering, and laws criminalizing conduct seen as "indecent" or "provocative");

We advocate for the state to enact hate crimes legislation that establishes transphobia as an aggravating factor for the purpose of sentencing; and legislation in relation to hate speech on the grounds of gender identity;
