Government, civil society and EU representatives will be discussing how to ensure equality for transgender and intersex South Africans at a historic event in Johannesburg this week. The country, in partnership with the European Union and various organisations, is hosting a review of policy protections for transgender and intersex persons on 4 to 5 November.
In addition to the participation of leading local and international civil society organisations, including Iranti, Gender Dynamix, the African Centre for Migration and Society and Intersex SA, the South African government will be represented by officials from the departments of Home Affairs, of Justice & Constitutional Development and of Health.
