Help Micah and the United Nations Council stop the forced sterilization of trans person trend!
The link I present to you here is the blog page of the trans activist Micah Grzywnowicz.
He is a full time human rights activist, and at the moment dedicated to fight cruel injustice directed toward trans population.
He is a full time human rights activist, and at the moment dedicated to fight cruel injustice directed toward trans population.
He recently graduated from Human Rights studies in Sweden and in the meantime he established a contact with the United Nations´s Special
Rapporteur on Torture, who has crucial normative influence on states and how
they regulate forced sterilization.
Micah prepared and presented his submission which addresses the forced sterilization of trans people, which was not under the microscope of the Special Rapporteur ever before, and that was what drew his attention to team up with Micah and try to resolve this problem once and for all.
Now, in the first days of March, the Special Rapporteur will publish his report to the United Nations meeting in Geneva.Micah, as the person whose submission was used in creating the Rapporteur´s report needs to go to Geneva and address the problem through the presentation he needs to hold during the special lunch event.
This is the report that will be presented to all of the members of the United Nations in March.
And that is where he needs us.
Micah is not able to finance his departure to Geneva from Montreal, where he is stationed at the moment, and he asks kindly of all of us to try and help him raise funds so he can finance his trip to Geneva and the presentation on the problems of trans people around the world there.
If any of you is able to help him with even smallest possible donations, every penny will be very important and helpful.
