Summary

Transgender Welfare Equity and Empowerment Trust (TWEET) aka Tweet Foundation is a community-based organisation in India based out of New Delhi and Mumbai was established by seven trans activists in 2017 to serve the young trans movement in India. TWEET especially focuses on the transmen community that faces extreme gender-based violence and has been highly invisibilized. TWEET is a completely trans-led organisation and as a pioneer in India, represents equal partnership among transmen & transwomen. The organisation came to an existence to support work specifically on issues that had not been addressed in other larger HIV or advocacy programmes in past in India. Resources for young trans people have been scarce and the real issues of the community from a social, psychological, economical standpoint have remained unaddressed.
