The EEPP project in Moldova was implemented by the
GENDERDOC-M Information Centre, the country’s only LGBT
community-based and advocacy organisation. The main focus
of this organisation’s activity is raising awareness and increasing
visibility of LGBT issues, as well as community organisation
and provision of services. This project has contributed to
GENDERDOC-M’s ongoing efforts in these fields. In 2016,
GENDERDOC-M facilitated six meetings for the Trans and Gender
Non-Conforming Peer Support Group members, organised a
public art exhibition, and screened a film on Transgender Day
of Visibility.
Within this project, the organisation has managed to draw public
attention to the problems faced by trans people (including gender
non-conforming people) not only in Moldova but all over the world.

Our activities took place around Transgender Day of Remembrance
(TDoR). They included the online and physical distribution of information materials related to TDoR as
well as the public screening of Tangerine (2015), a fiction
film on black trans sex workers in the USA, thus introducing
the local audience to the issue of intersectionality. Prior to
the screening, two GENDERDOC-M activists read the entire
list of trans and gender non-conforming people who were
murdered around the world during the past year. Members
of the Trans and Gender Non-Conforming Peer Support
Group produced a short video drawing public attention to
the violence committed against trans people, which was
also screened at the beginning of the event.
