TGEU – Transgender Europe, ‘Trans-specific healthcare in Reception Conditions’, 21 August 2018

Abstract

Trans people in asylum procedures might have specific healthcare needs. States have to ensure during the asylum procedure that basic healthcare needs of an asylum seeker are met. Trans specific healthcare needs such as expert psycho-social support, hormone replacement treatment, or post-surgical care are not luxury but constitute basic healthcare needs.
