Mission Statement
Trans-Fuzja Foundation is the first transgender organization in Poland. The Foundation's work is focused on organizing support (psychological consultations, support groups for trans people and their relatives. legal aid and support) throughout Poland, carrying out scientific research and education of health professionals, psychologists, schools and state aid centers to make as many places as possible become trans-exclusive. All support activities are free for people using them. We establish cooperation with business to make the labor market a friendly and safe place for transgender people, and employers do not discriminate against their employees and know their needs.
About This Cause
Trans-Fuzja Foundation is a first Polish trans organization established in 2008 with an aim to support trans people in Poland. Within a few years the foundation has moved from a support-only approach, to organization with specific goals concerning the legal, social, economical and human rights situation of transgender people. After a few years of functioning, Trans-Fuzja became a recognizable expert organization working on (trans)gender-specific issues. Trans-Fuzja is a member organization of ILGA-Europe, TGEU, ANSO, IGLYO and the KARAT Coalition. Trans-Fuzja's activities concentrate on four major working areas: advocacy, support, education and culture. Advocacy work is currently focused on establishing contacts and cooperation with non-obvious allies, other organizations and local activities (the organization is one of the Warsaw organizations working on signing and implementing the LGBT + card in Warsaw), and international cooperation. Trans-Fuzja organizes a number of support activities – support groups and social events, individual consultations (online and offline), counselling and legal aid. Supporting groups for trans community are located in: Warsaw, Cracow, Poznań, Gdańsk, Katowice, Lublin. Groups for parents and families of transpersons (especially parents of transgender kids) are in Warsaw, Cracow and Lublin. By the end of 2019 two more groups will be opened. All activities are free of charge. Educational activities are consisted of mostly workshops on transgender, intersex and gender-variant issues. These are aimed both at providing necessary, elemental knowledge, based on international standards on the topic as well as specific issues, mostly focused on educating various professionals – teachers, psychologists, health care providers and students. The organization is also dedicated to advise students who show interest in researching trans topics, as well as conducting research and publishes scientific publications and educational brochures (for teachers, for parents of transgender children, health care providers etc.) Trans-Fuzja also promotes transgender, intersex and gender-variant culture. It promotes and gives patronage to events touching the subject. These activities also incorporate various demonstrations and manifestations, such as yearly Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil.
