This grant is for the purpose of increasing protection for transgender individuals facing acute violence and harassment. Offered by DRL, its primary goal is to ensure that incidents of violence are documented, investigated, and victims receive appropriate legal redress through domestic, regional, or international human rights mechanisms. Proposals should strengthen civil society organizations’ efforts in documentation and investigation monitoring, ensure adequate legal representation, and support local groups in seeking redress. Sensitivity training for law enforcement is also encouraged. Competitive proposals will link documentation, training, and legal representation to promote accountability and combat impunity, often focusing activities at the local/community level and including sub-grants to local transgender organizations.

| Description: | DRL seeks to support programs that increase protection of transgender persons who face acute forms of violence and harassment. DRL?s overall goal is to ensure that incidents of violence are documented and investigated and that victims receive appropriate legal redress through domestic, regional, or international human rights mechanisms. DRL seeks proposals that will: (1) strengthen civil society organizations? efforts to both document incidents of violence and the investigation process (or lack thereof); (2) ensure transgender persons have adequate legal representation; (3) support local civil society organizations to seek redress through regional and international human rights mechanisms; and (4)where feasible/appropriate, sensitivity training for law enforcement agencies.** Competitive proposals will link documentation, training and legal representation efforts as a means of promoting accountability and combating impunity. Proposals are encourag ed to include components that focus activity at the local and/or community level, and should include sub-grants to local transgender organizations. Organizations may also want to consider different forms of inclusive sub-granting, such as advisory committees for grant selections. Proposals may consider, but are not limited to, activities such as documentation of incidents of violence and investigation processes, legal assistance for victims, improving capacity of lawyers and civil society organizations to assist transgender persons, sensitivity training for law enforcement agencies, and support for advocates to utilize domestic, regional, and international human rights mechanisms to promote accountability for human rights violations. Other activities which support the goals noted above may also be considered. |
