Event: Dialogue on Challenges Facing Transgender Learners

10/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Transgender Intersex Africa (TIA) and Iranti-org will be hosting an important dialogue on the challenges facing transgender and gender non-conforming learners in South African schools.  Below is the invitation:

We have witnessed an escalation in the number of cases of discrimination toward the 
trans* community. Transgender and gender non-conforming pupils in South Africa have 
experienced discrimination on the basis of their gender identities and find themselves 
being ridiculed, taunted and shamed, often by those in positions of power.
In response to and addressing the issues of the trans* learners in schools, TIA 
(Transgender and Intersex Arica) in partnership with Iranti-org will host a social 
dialogue at national level on the issues affecting these pupils. The proposed dialogue is an 
opportunity to promote visibility and transparency of the issues at hand, which in itself 
can be educational and promotes diversity.


Furthermore, it will highlight the capacity needs of students, teachers, counsellors and 
school governing bodies on homophobia and transphobia with a view to developing 
concrete policies and actions on Sexual orientation and gender identities (SOGI) in school.
The dialogue also seeks to create a safe space for engagement between government
departments, civil society, parents and learners.


The event includes a panel discussion with representatives from; Social Development, 
Department of Education, Law Resource Centre, the Department of Education, (Parents of 
the learners who are affected), South African Human Rights Commission, Commission on 
Gender Equality and partner organisations (NGOs and CBOs) that work around issues of 
SOGI.


We gladly inform your respective office about a social dialogue that will be held on the 
20th of October 2014 at Constitutional Hill (Braamfontein) from 09:00 till 13:00. The main 
objective of this dialogue is to discuss issues that affect the trans* learners in schools, as
well as to find out how the government departments addresses such issues
Your office is kindly invited to attend the dialogue and participate in the proceedings of 
the meeting. It would be of great assistance if your office would have a representative 
present at this meeting, to speak on behalf of your department regarding the issue at 
hand and your work in addressing these.


Your response with regards is highly appreciated. We will be extremely thankful for your 
valuable presence and participation in the dialogue.  Contact:
