COVID-19 Trans Resilience Campaign: Week 5 – Human Rights Organisational Profile – Hetura

Over the last five weeks, APTN has been highlighting some of our #COVID19CommunitySupportFund partners who have stepped up to provide vital support to the community during the pandemic. 

The last organisational profile is from Hetura, a national grass-roots #transorganisation in #PapuaNewGuinea. Hetura  distributed basic food rations, cash, and phone cards for 40 trans community members who were displaced and most affected by the pandemic. Like many of our partner organisations, the funds were not enough to cover all of those affected – causing many of our organisations to receive criticisms from the community themselves. However, through their project Hetura has been able to grow their membership and boost the work they are doing in the #community.
