The United Caribbean Trans Network (UCTRANS) is the first regional transgender network in the Caribbean. It works with and on behalf of the transgender community across the region to advocate for their rights, protection, and healthcare. It also offers support and guidance to local movements.[1]
UCTRANS and OutRight conducted a holistic study titled Over-Policed, Under Protected in 2020, published at the end of March 2021. It identified the issues faced by trans and gender diverse people in the Caribbean using feedback collected from surveys, focus groups and interviews in 11 countries.[2][3]
