About Us

Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) is a non-profit organisation supporting the transgender community in Ireland in all its variety. We raise awareness about gender diversity through support, training and dissemination of information and seek to improve conditions and advance equality for all trans people in Ireland. Liaising with a variety of community organisations in Ireland and Europe, we work toward this goal by overseeing support meetings, offering information sessions, workshops and courses, organising events, and much more.

Support

TENI supports the setup and development of support groups throughout Ireland. Such groups currently exist in Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. Their contact information can be found under Support. We are also happy to assist partners, family members and friends of trans people to create their own support groups. If you would like to set up a new group, please contact us at info@teni.ie!

We also schedule a range of social events. Do you have an idea for a trans-positive event? Let us know at info@teni.ie and we may be able to help you set it up or promote it.

Projects

In addition to support and events, TENI has many projects underway in the fields of support, education and advocacy. Our most important current project is the transgender strand of the Building Sustainable LGBT Communities project (2009-2012). We are also involved in the EU Grundtvig Lifelong Learning project "…And Others", collaborate with BeLonGTo and the Union of Students in Ireland on projects for transgender Youth and students, and much more.

Presentations and Trainings

TENI's staff members and volunteers offer multimedia presentations and trainings on transgender people and issues for a variety of audiences, including companies, medical professionals, teachers, LGBT groups, schools and university classes. For more information, please write to info@teni.ie.
