#Introduction Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) is a non-profit member-driven organisation, founded in 2006. Our vision is a world where all people, regardless of gender identity or expression, enjoy full acceptance, equality and human rights. Our mission is to advance the rights and equality, and improve the lives of trans people and their families.
Despite significant progress in the past years, Ireland remains a place where it is difficult for trans people to lead safe, healthy and integrated lives.
TENI is dedicated to ending transphobia, including stigma, discrimination and inequality. TENI engages in activities that promote the equality and well-being of trans people in Ireland.
We work nationally in four main areas: healthcare, employment, education and legislation.
There are three strands to out work.
Advocacy
We advocate across legal, medical, societal and political structures to ensure that policy development and legislative reform reflects the positive recognition of trans inclusion, rights and equality.
Education
We provide workshops and trainings that increase awareness, understanding and inclusion of trans issues across key sectors of Irish society.
Support
We offer a range of support services that aim to increase the well-being of trans people and their families by providing support that mitigates common experiences of isolation, misunderstanding and exclusion.

Hi!
I'm new to Ireland so I don't know much about your organisation, I would have one question to ask: are you linked in any way to the WPATH?
