Overview

Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) seeks to improve conditions and advance the rights and equality of trans* people and their families. TENI engages in activities that promote the equality and well-being of trans people in Ireland in three main areas: Support: We offer a range of support services that aim to increase the well-being of trans people and their families by providing support that mitigates common experiences of isolation, misunderstanding and exclusion. Advocacy: We advocate across legal, medical, societal and political structures to ensure that policy development and legislative reform reflects the positive recognition of trans inclusion, rights and equality. Education: We provide workshops and trainings that increase awareness, understanding and inclusion of trans issues across key sectors of Irish society. TENI is a non-profit member-driven organisation, founded in 2005 and registered as a company limited by guarantee in February 2010. The governance is provided by a volunteer Board and operations are led by the Chief Executive and staff.
