As more and more individuals, particularly among youth, dare to reveal themselves as trans, non-binary or intersex, the need for specific support for these persons is increasing, as well as the call for awareness-raising measures among the public and the professionals, to help them better understand these issues.

In 2024, the City of Geneva started a new program that aims to initiate and support the development of awareness-raising activities on the specific challenges encountered by these particularly vulnerable and discriminated populations. It financed a specific call for projects aimed at associations and collectives. Simultaneously, a series of public events was launched, which began with a meeting of experts from civil society and administrations members to understand the inclusion of trans people in public institutions.
