Stronger Voices Manchester Report Launch

About the Event

The Trans Learning Partnership has been conducting research into Housing and Assets within trans communities. Our research has found interconnecting systems of disadvantage between Housing, Healthcare, Education, and Employment, as well as exploring how trans communities resist and navigate these systems.

At this event we will share our findings and host an interactive discussion space. This will be a space for you to explore: how these interconnecting systems present themselves in your work, and how we can work together across our sectors to remove some of these pressures on trans people.

Lunch and regular rest breaks will be provided.

About our research

The Stronger Voices report is the result of three years of community-based and trans-led research. We aim to build an understanding of how housing is experienced by trans people, while also exploring how trans people and our communities create and imagine ideal livelihoods. This work stands in contrast to a deficit-based approach which focuses only on negative outcomes for trans people, such as the lack of good housing. Instead, this report goes beyond simply reporting the problems that trans people experience. We therefore explore what assets trans people create, use, and need to build space for living and belonging, and how trans community assets can inform better approaches to research.
