“We need you, the states, to push for our inclusion. To push for our access to the spaces where the discussions happen. But you also need us. Change doesn’t happen unless we push for it.”

Speakers at the high-level meeting included Prime Ministers of Iceland and Malta, the UN Independent Expert on SOGI, South African trans activist Liberty Matthyse and many others.
