Sanad: A Center for Bodily Justice

Sanad: A Center for Bodily Justice is an initiative built by and for trans communities. We create spaces for connection, guidance, and support, ensuring community members have access to the tools and knowledge needed to navigate legal, medical, social, and everyday challenges. Our work is rooted in mutual care, peer support, and collective action.

Too often, trans individuals face barriers when trying to access legal recognition, medical care, and community support. These systems can feel isolating, bureaucratic, and overwhelming. Sanad exists to change that -- we work to make these processes easier, more accessible, and rooted in community. No one should have to go through it alone.

Established in 2025, Sanad grew from years of trans-focused work by Qorras (local civil society organization) and other trans activists. While Qorras played a key role in supporting its emergence, Sanad stands as an independent center shaped by the experiences, voices, and visions of its members.
