In March we have observed the International Sex Workers’ Rights Day,¹ International Women’s Day,² and Trans Day of Visibility.

For the Trans Day of Visibility, ESWA has joined the video campaign of TGEU - Transgender Europe and Central Asia, centering trans voices talking about the invisibilised aspects of their lives. To highlight intersections between sex workers’ rights and trans rights, sex worker’s rights activist Ines Anttila and ESWA Director of Communication and Campaigns Wszebor Sienkiewicz sent their contributions. You can see the campaign videos on TGEU’s instagram.

Thank you everyone who joined the premiere and live stream of the community video on what sex workers wish the world knew. Being together, even in this small capacity, made the International Sex Workers’ Day on March 3rd special. For those of you who missed the video, check it out on ESWA YouTube.¹

Attached: 2 images ESWA's community video premiere: «What Sex Workers Wish the World Knew» 🗓 Tuesday 3rd, March 2026 🕒 15:00 CET 💻 Online (with live chat) 🌐 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOp1q9x2qRw 👈 🎂 25º Sex Workers' Rights Day > Sex work is always a hot topic, but hardly ever covered by those who actually live its realities. > While film studios, directors and journalists profit off our stories, sex workers' voices remain silenced and gaslit. Views on sex work are shaped by a distorted caricature of our industry produced by mainstream media. Those mindsets lead to harmful legislation, discrimination and violence. > This community video, initiated on Sex Workers' Pride and premiering on Sex Workers' Rights Day, aims to counter stereotypes with real lived experiences. Sex workers share what they wish the world knew about us and our work. #SexWork #ESWA #CommunityVideo #SexWorkersRightsDay #Europe #March2026

Joint Statement: European LGBTI Organisations call on the Portuguese Parliament to reject bills attacking trans and intersex rights

Proposals due to be debated in Portugal on 19 March and voted on 20 March could pave the way for rollbacks to legal gender recognition, bodily autonomy, and other existing protections for trans and intersex people. IGLYO, ILGA-Europe, OII Europe, TGEU, EL*C, and Bi+ Equal express deep alarm at the three bills due to be debated in the Portuguese Parliament on 19 March and voted on 20 March. These proposals represent a serious attack on the rights, dignity, safety and bodily autonomy of trans […]

I only knew Ymania from her brief intervention at the TGEU Fundraising and Empowerment training in Berlin last year, where she also shared some of her personal story. She really left an impression.

Auf der #epath Konferenz in Hamburg im Panel "Access to medication for trans people in Europe and Central Asia" mit interessanten Menschen diskutiert.

🧬 Hormonmangel trifft trans Menschen hart.
Östrogen & Testosteron sind lebenswichtige Medikamente für viele trans Personen.

💔 Abbrüche der Hormontherapie können schwere körperliche & psychische Folgen haben.

📣 Die EU muss Hormone endlich als essentielle Medikamente anerkennen.

Petition to the President of the European Commission

On July 17, together with All Out, ILGA Europe, ENAR, IGLYO, TGEU, ERGO Network, EL*C, and AGE Platform Europe, OII Europe delivered a petition to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Signed by 32,000 people, the petition calls on the Commission to not withdraw its proposed anti-discrimination Directive (also known as the Equal Treatment Directive or ETD), a crucial measure designed to combat discrimination in all areas of life across the EU.

Share your experiences in our new survey: Law Beyond the Binary in Europe & Central Asia

What is the survey about?

The survey explores how people whose gender identity is on the non-binary spectrum experience the law, and whether they would like to see the law changed to better accommodate gender identities beyond the binary.

Aims of the survey

The survey hopes to create a better understanding of how the ability (or inability) to access identity documents with sex/gender markers beyond the binary impacts the daily lives of people in Europe and Central Asia. Ultimately, by increasing knowledge and awareness – among policy makers, civil society, academic researchers and the general public – the survey aims to contribute to the work of developing legal systems which are more inclusive of people whose gender identity is on the non-binary spectrum.
