Transgender and gender non-conforming people face the strongest discrimination in accessing health services in general, as well as in almost all other areas of social life even under normal conditions. Therefore, the hypothesis of this study was that such a level of discrimination and a lack of data will also affect the situation of trans* people and their access to health and social services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Based on the hypothesis of the lack of research on the situation and needs of trans* people in normal times, ECOM decided to conduct a combined study on the situation of and data on trans* people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
