Trans Awareness Week aims to raise the visibility of transgender people and the issues they face. To mark this week we interviewed Amber Gonzales Quiban, a trans activist from the Philippines. She shared her experiences of LGBTQIA+ activism in the Philippines and her experiences and perspectives as a trans woman.
