About this directory

Project Trans — MENA is a free and open knowledge base for transgender people from the Middle East and North Africa. Many of us live where transition-related healthcare is unavailable, unaffordable, or unsafe to ask for. This directory gathers the information and community resources that help people transition safely and on their own terms.

The content here draws on established community projects including hrt.info, the DIY HRT Directory, and the Awesome Trans portal, adapted for a MENA audience.

Medical disclaimer

Always seek professional advice regarding a medical condition or treatment. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.

Stay safe
