The Trump administration is actively undermining gender rights, ignoring the existence of transgender individuals while stripping away their hard-fought human rights. This regression not only harms LGBTQIA+ individuals but also threatens women’s rights, including access to healthcare and protections against violence. The government’s actions attempt to revert the concept of gender to a restrictive binary and weaken the global standing of the U.S. as a champion for human rights.
The Trump administration’s executive orders are limiting the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals under the guise of protecting women. This approach promotes discrimination and redefines gender rights in a harmful manner, jeopardising both domestic and global gender justice initiatives. Oxfam America calls for active resistance to these policies to uphold fundamental human rights for all.
Oxfam America strongly condemns the administration’s recent executive orders, which roll back critical progress for gender equality and LGBTQIA+ rights, illustrating a dangerous shift away from inclusivity. It is essential for individuals, lawmakers, and institutions to actively push against these regressive policies to ensure dignity, autonomy, and rights for all people.
