The region of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) is a complex and diverse region in relation to the realization of the rights of transgender people.
Transgender people are in part characterized by their prioritization of health and medical services, which accompany both the transgender transition and the life of a transgender person if he/she/they require hormone therapy, surgical operations, and medical supervision. In addition, transgender people are at risk for HIV and STIs, which means that many trans people require prevention and treatment throughout their lives.
