A BIRD’S EYE VIEW OF OUR GRANTEE PARTNERS’ SUCCESSES IN 2015

• Transgender Resource Center (Hong Kong, China) assisted in defeating the Marriage Amendment Bill that proposed to make it mandatory for trans* people to have “full” sexual reassignment surgery and sterilization in order to have their marriage legally recognized.

• Black and Pink (Dorchester, MA) published “Coming Out of Concrete Closets,” the first national survey of LGBTQ incarcerated people, bringing together the voices of more than 1100 queer and trans* people who have been imprisoned or are currently in prison.

• Power Inside (Baltimore, MD) advocated, provided testimony and mobilized community members for over two years to pass the Healthy Births for Incarcerated Women Act, which prohibits shackling and defines the rights of incarcerated pregnant women before, during, and after giving birth.

• Association Okvir (Bosnia) launched a queer feminist online multimedia platform where they promote and disseminate work by LGBTIQA activists, artists and creative workers in BiH.

• BreakOUT! (New Orleans, LA) and Streetwise and Safe (New York, NY) helped pass new bias-free police policies and enforceable bans on police profiling of LGBTGNC people in New Orleans and New York City respectively.

• Community United Against Violence and Transgender, Gender Variant, Intersex Justice Project (San Francisco, CA), in coalition with other organizations in the city, pressured the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to shut down their $300,000,000 San Francisco jail project plan.

• Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement (Los Angeles, CA), Mariposas Sin Fronteras (Tucson, CA), Arcoíris Liberation Team Familia (Phoenix, CA), and AZ-QUIP (Phoenix, CA) organized national campaigns to #FreeMarichuy, #FreeNicole, #FreeEloyLesbians and #FreeChristina to release queer and trans women from detention and build support for ending all detentions.

ASTRAEA Annual Report 2015 • Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement (Los Angeles, CA) organized with immigrant youth organizations to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention expansion in Santa Ana City Jail, which is known for its LGBTQ pod and high rates of human rights abuses.

• Gender Dynamix (Cape Town, South Africa) created a partnership with the largest nurse’s union in the country to improve non-discriminatory primary care for trans* people.

• Santamaria Fundación (Cali, Colombia) played a leadership role in Aquelarre Trans, a national coalition of trans* organizations and allies, that secured a Gender Identity Decree that allows trans* people to change their name and gender marker on their identification without having to undergo psychiatric or physical examinations.

• Following years of advocacy by Colombia Diversa (Bogotá, Colombia), Colombia’s Constitutional Court ruled that it is illegal for adoption agencies to discriminate against gays and lesbians. Gays and lesbians now have equal adoption rights to those of heterosexual couples.

• Mujeres al Borde (Bogotá, Colombia) produced community theater plays and impactful video shorts through their Latin America video academy, raising awareness about the realities and experiences facing LGBTQI communities in the region and reaching over 600 people in Argentina, Spain, Paraguay, México, Colombia and the U.S through film festivals and community building events.

• Nazariya Project (New Delhi, India) supported an 18 year-old trans* man in successfully securing a positive judgment from the Delhi High Court, affirming his right to self-determination and providing protection from his family that had attempted to confine him in their home.

• Taller de Comunicación Mujer (Quito, Ecuador) systematically monitored and conducted international advocacy around the 368 ‘de-homosexualization’ centers in the country, where LGBT people, particularly women, are interned by their families against their will and endure torture and other human rights violations.

• Association of Russian-Speaking Intersex People (ARSI) (Russia & US) provided crucial support and human rights information to Russian-speaking intersex people via a Facebook group and in-person spaces.

• Resulting from the advocacy of many Intersex Fund grantee partners, several United Nations human rights bodies condemned medically unnecessary and irreversible surgeries, treatments and other medical interventions on intersex infants and children without their consent.
