9 December 2025 — A new “Know Your Rights” guide for trans and non-binary
people is being published today by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties
(ICCL), in collaboration with ShoutOut and Transgender Equality Network Ireland
(TENI).
Know Your Rights: A Guide for Trans and Non-Binary People is the first
comprehensive resource of its kind in Ireland. It sets out in plain English the
rights of trans and non-binary adults and young people, with information on
areas including legal gender recognition, family life, healthcare, safety and
protection from harm, education, protections in the workplace, access to goods
and services, interactions with law enforcement, prison and sports.
Developed with the support of legal experts and building on consultations with
rights-holders, the guide aims to empower trans and non-binary people to
understand, claim and vindicate their rights in Ireland. It will also support
professionals working with trans and non-binary people to ensure their rights
are vindicated through their work, and be useful for family members and allies
of trans and non-binary people.
Speaking today at the launch of the guide, ICCL Executive Director, Joe
O’Brien, said:
“Trans and non-binary people deserve to live with dignity, in safety and free
from discrimination in every aspect of their lives. ICCL is deeply concerned
by growing efforts to undermine the rights of gender-diverse communities. This
guide comes at a critical time, as we mark the tenth anniversary of the
Gender
Recognition Act. Now more than ever, it's crucial that trans and non-binary
people of all ages have easy access to clear and accurate information about
their rights and legal protections arising from a variety of sources, including
Irish and EU law.”"
