Summary
Casa Trans is part of the Comprehensive Trans Plan developed by the City of Buenos Aires (CABA), aimed at creating public policies that may ensure people within this collective the full exercise of their rights and freedom under full equality conditions. Casa Trans was inaugurated in June 2017 and is a key element of the Comprehensive Trans Plan, since it is the primary place where advisory services, orientation, job training and general support are provided to the trans population. Since its opening, Casa Trans has exceedingly achieved all the assistance goals that had originally been set, thus becoming a place of reference and belonging for people within the transgender collective.
As a public policy, Casa Trans represents the first effective response to a historical demand at the local, national and regional levels, since it is the first Latin American institution established to recognize and address the particular needs of this collective, both at the structural level and regarding contents. As a result, Casa Trans is an innovative governmental initiative co-managed with this sector’s organizations and having social participation as its structural basis, thus demonstrating sustainability, efficiency and a replication potentiality in other cities of the region.
