Transgender rights, demographics and access to care in Sweden from 1972 until today
Come to this year's Academic Pride seminar
How has the situation for transgender people in Sweden changed, or stayed the same, in the last 50 years? Come and hear what we’ve learned from current research and discuss how to use this knowledge in promoting transgender rights.
Time: Wed 2024-07-31
Location: Pride House
At this seminar you'll get an overview on demographics of transgender people receiving gender-affirming care in Sweden – number of people, age, and earnings -- from the 1970s until today. We focus especially on geographic differences in access to care and the impact of ending the sterilization requirement in 2013.
The seminar will start with a presentation and will be followed by discussion and questions from the audience.
Academic Pride is a cooperation between institutions of higher learning and student organisations in the Stockholm region, with the purpose to highlight the importance of LGBTQIA+ issues in higher education – both in education, research and in the work and study environment. This year KTH coordinates Academic Pride.
