About

Description
TEHK was set up to fill the activism gap, by 1) pushes Hong Kong’s law to comply with international standards of transgender rights and human rights; 2) run in a financially sustainable way; 3) commit to serving transpeople who are of other minority groups and who are the most marginalised. In contrast to other trans NGOs, we’re vocal about human rights, we adopt an intersectional approach, we’re knowledgeable in trans-related policies at international levels & have good relationships with key players in the CSO space in Asia and beyond. We also invest great efforts into ‘soft’ areas such as community building, peer support online & offline, public education etc as they are essentially complementary to ‘hard’ legal changes. In 2022, we launched a successful multi-media campaign ‘Transmen in Hong Kong’, which was well received locally and abroad and widely reported. We’ve been interviewed by Nikkei, Reuters, ABC (Australia), Washington Post, BBC, TIME Magazine, AP news, Pink News, Tatler, South China Morning Post, i-Cable, Ming Pao, Why Not (Chinese online media), the Young Post, Now Channel, Yahoo, the China File (in Italian), Hong Kong Free Press, HK01, AM730, Commercial Radio (prime time shows 光明頂, 在晴朗的一天出發), RTHK, the Collective etc. We were featured in documentaries and podcasts such as the BBC and TVB large productions. We’re a main force behind East Asia’s trans and LGBTI+ movement, in particular regarding legal gender recognition.
