Amplifying your voice
The Policy team at Mermaids is here to amplify the voices of trans young people, with our work centred on ensuring that trans young people thrive in every aspect of their lives. We do this by working with the Government and public bodies to improve their policies to ensure they’re fully inclusive and advancing trans equality.
Respond to the EHRC’s consultation
We are deeply concerned by this draft and the impact it would have on trans children and young people if implemented as statutory guidance. We are encouraging our communities and allies to respond, even if you only have 10 minutes to do so.
Our submissions
As part of our advocacy, we will submit consultation responses wherever possible, using the lived experience and testimony of young trans people and their families. Here you will find links to our responses so you can see exactly what we are asking government and public bodies to do to advance the rights of trans young people in this country.
Your insights and stories are powerful
We are always want to ensure we reflect the up-to-date experiences of all trans and non-binary young people in the UK. We want to hear from you! You can email us by clicking the box below – if you’d rather have a phone call, just let us know!
Write to your MP
It is one of the primary duties of MPs to represent the views of their constituents in Parliament. As a constituent, it is your right to have your voice heard on issues that affect you and other people in your area. Writing to your MP is a great way to ensure that your MP, regardless of the political party they belong to, knows your views.
