To contribute to the growth of the gender-affirming healthcare sector, which is evolving rapidly but still not readily available in all countries. Those navigating their gender-affirming journey will benefit from an educational orientation process that helps them weigh the current options and to feel more empowered while making important healthcare decisions and researching which experienced professionals are right for them. 

Mission

The Forum is an initiative of Facialteam, with roots in similar congresses in Australia since 2015 aimed at bringing together specialists in Gender Affirming Healthcare to raise visibility of the sector but primarily to attend to the needs of women in transition without straightforward access to quality care by local professionals.

History

The Gender-Affirming Health Forum is an interactive community event which has been developed so that people navigating their own gender transition may access more in-depth information, meet select international providers and also connect with others in the community who share the same journey.
