Gender DynamiX

ILGA World Conference
11-15 November 2024
Cape Town, South Africa

In 2024, the ILGA World Conference will return to Africa for the first time since 1999. A monumental occasion for ILGA World and the two local organisations led by – and working for – le***an, trans, and intersex persons: Iranti and Gender DynamiX. Critically, the theme, “Kwa umoja” is Swahili for “Together” or “In unity” and is a powerful call for unity in these polarised and contentious times, also incorporating the most widely spoken language in Africa, known by over 200 million people.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Happy Nelson Mandela day

Dear Community,

I would like to take a moment to value and appreciate each of you for your hard work and dedication. Our collective efforts are instrumental in making a positive impact within our society. As we embark on the "A Message To Mandela" campaign, I encourage everyone to share their videos and stories. Remember, any positive movement starts with us, and our actions inspire others to follow.

Let's continue to be the change we want to see. Your support and participation in this campaign are crucial in attracting and motivating community members to join our cause.

Together, we can make a difference.

Best regards,
Gender Dynamix

May 1st marks International Workers’ Day, celebrating strides toward equal employment opportunities and standards. Yet, amid these efforts, trans and gender diverse persons still face disproportionate barriers to equitable employment opportunities. Let’s continue advocating for inclusive workplaces where everyone has a fair chance to thrive.

Gender identity and sexual orientation are distinct aspects of identity. While everyone possesses both a gender identity and a sexual orientation, it’s important to note that one’s gender does not dictate their sexual orientation. Transgender individuals may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or any other orientation that resonates with them.

Gender DynamiX and HSRC invite all Transgender and Gender Diverse (TGD) persons to partake in a research study that seeks to evaluate factors that have had an impact on their studies/schooling, causing them to discontinue their education.
We would like to identify factors that create an environment within the education system that continually exclude TGD persons in our efforts to create an inclusive and safe learning environment for all. To participate, please email: Cameron Lawrence at [email protected]
