Panel discussion

Trans people and legal gender recognition

There is still a long way to go before the Faroe Islands becomes a country that recognises and values trans people. The legal gender recognition act is still missing, and health care for trans people is severely lacking. 

This panel will discuss these issues in addition to talking about what it is like to be trans in the Faroe Islands.

Participants: Olivur Johannesen, Christina Johannesen, mother of a transgender child, og Bjørt Lind, psychologist

Looking back at the 20 years since the first Pride in the Faroe Islands

Participants: Sonja Jógvansdóttir, Eiler Fagraklett og Esther Margreth Petersen.
