Welcome to today's video, where we're discussing a new report that sheds light on the harsh reality faced by transgender people around the world. In 13 countries, transgender individuals are subject to specific laws that criminalize them, punishing them with prison, corporal punishment, and even death. But that's not all - according to the latest Trans Legal Mapping Report by IGLA World, trans people are de facto criminalized under laws in 37 countries.

What's more, only 96 countries have processes to allow trans people to change their gender legally. And shockingly, only 25 of those countries are described as not having "prohibitive requirements". This means that it's not possible to legally change your gender in at least 47 UN member states.
