2º encontro nacional de jovens trans
Nos próximos dias 7, 8 e 9 de novembro, a rede ex aequo, em parceria com o coletivo Braga Fora do Armário, apresenta o 2º Encontro Nacional de Jovens Trans. Este será um fim-de-semana de convívio, ativismo e celebração, com porta aberta para tod@s @s jovens trans, assim como para os seus aliados e simpatizantes.
Será uma oportunidade para aprendermos mais sobre as experiências de vida da juventude trans, mas também para repensar aquilo que é necessário para construir um movimento trans participado e consciente da sua posição na sociedade.
Encontra-te connosco em Braga, uma cidade cada vez mais fora do armário – e vem fazer história na conquista de mais igualdade para as pessoas trans em Portugal!
