Brief: Transgender people all over the world face discrimination. Violations of their rights range from denial of healthcare, work and housing to criminalisation, rape and murder.
We’ve approached Global Butterflies, a consultancy firm that helps businesses become trans inclusive, and Brand Advance, a communications platform that connects brands with diversity audiences, to take a stand for trans rights.
Insight: Although many have heard of transgender people, just a few have ever heard their voice. The voice of the transgender community is trapped behind a barrier of prejudice and ignorance.
Idea: On International Transgender Day of Visibility, Alexa transitioned into Alex to allow the general public to have their first conversation with a transgender person, and sign the world’s first voice-activated petition to support trans rights.
