A new international project focused on strengthening transgender rights across Europe has officially begun with a kick-off meeting held February 20-21 at the University of Brescia, Italy.

The “Transcending Barriers” initiative brings together academic and NGO  partners from Italy, Spain, France, Bulgaria, and Lithuania to work collaboratively toward equality for transgender individuals in Europe.

The project aims to increase professional knowledge and understanding of transgender issues while ensuring better access to services for transgender people. Participants emphasized the importance of continuing collaborative efforts to achieve equal rights.

This initiative represents an important step forward in addressing transgender rights at a European level through multi-country cooperation and expertise sharing.
