| Short Summary |
This memoir describes the first ever Institute for Trans and Intersex Activist Training to be held in South America. The two-week Training Institute, which was organised by the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission's (IGLHRC), was held in Argentina in 2004 and was planned, coordinated and run by trainers from South America. The Institute for Trans and Intersex Activism had a three-part agenda, structured around: • Trans and intersex theory and politics (exploring 'performative' concepts of gender which see gender as a 'work in progress' rather than a fixed identity linked to biology); • Organisational development (designed as a practical approach to the various challenges that trans and intersex political activist groups face in the region); • Human rights (focusing on the International and Inter-American human rights system, with a special emphasis on the introduction of trans and intersex issues, and on the documentation of human rights violations suffered by trans and intersex persons) Towards the end of the training the participants produced a list of objectives, priorities and rights for a trans and intersex agenda. On the basis of this agenda, participants issued an eight-point statement - La Falda Declaration - to serve as guiding principles for work on trans and intersex issues throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
