Campaign group TGEU’s annual Trans Rights Map ranks the legal situation for trans people in 54 countries. One of the best places to be openly trans in 2024 is Iceland, which scored 30 out of 32, up from 26 last year.
Russia removed this right altogether and is now in the company of Hungary, Kyrgyzstan and Bulgaria. A little under half of the countries have laws that protect trans people from hate crimes. Of the 54 countries, 27 offer explicit protections for trans asylum seekers. Ten countries ban so-called conversion therapy – a discredited practice to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
