Learn About Trans and Intersex Community-based Research in Zambia
TransBantu Zambia’s Executive Director, Sean Reggee will be joined online by three members of the TransBantu Zambia (TBZ) team that have been working on community-based research initiatives supported by Egale Canada and the Act Together for Inclusion Fund (ACTIF). For the last two years, TBZ has been conducting desk research and qualitative exploratory research, as well as content analysis of human-interest stories related to the reporting of gender identity and issues affecting trans and intersex people in Zambia.
Training in Ethnography has also been provided to community members and TBZ staff to better understand the social, economic, legal, and political environments of trans and intersex persons. To increase the efficacy of the research, TBZ worked diligently to ensure historically significant ethical clearance and established university partnership to accredit the findings.
