INCLUSION OF TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE PERSONS IN SRHR SERVICES

Healthcare cannot be equitable if entire communities are locked out.

Trans and gender diverse persons in Uganda continue to face discrimination, denial of care, and exclusion from Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services—often not because services don’t exist, but because systems were never designed to include them.

This policy brief presents evidence of these barriers. It outlines practical, rights-based actions for health systems: from non-discrimination policies and provider training to gender-affirming care standards and inclusive health data systems. Centring lived experience, it shows why inclusion is not optional—it is essential for effective public health.
