The #COVIDー19 pandemic has heightened prejudices against #transgender persons, making it even more difficult for them to access food supplies, medicines or approach the authorities for help. Many also fear eviction from their homes. #TransgenderDayOfVisibility #ProtectEveryone Image
With understaffed, over-worked public hospitals, there is a concern around the accessibility to Antiretroviral therapy (ART) that HIV+ patients need each month. The anxiety is aggravated by a #lockdown that makes it difficult to reach #hospitals. #TransDayOfVisibility #COVIDー19 Image
