Partner: TRANS-FORMING

Lecturer: Camilla Gisslow

(This event is held in English)

This lecture is about children with a transgender identity and their rights according to the four basic principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Children. A lecture that highlights the importance of acknowledging and supporting children and young people with a transgender identity. The mental illness among children and young people today with a transgender identity is higher then ever. What happens when you´re not noticed or seen and your rights are taken away from you? When you grow up and others think and claims your someone else. When the body does not match the image that society presents is you.  Camilla is taking you on a journey from her own experience from her family and from her work with young transgender children and their families – on the importance to love and let your child be who they are, and why it’s important that society acknowledge transgender children and their rights.
