UTH-United For Transgender Health is an organization based out of India that aims to make healthcare non-discriminatory and accessible for the LGBTQIA+ community. UTH also engages in creative capacity building of the community. It was founded in June 2021 by Shivangi Jain and Dr. Sakshi Mamgain. One of UTH’s paramount accomplishments is an ever-evolving repository of queer-affirmative healthcare providers across India. Our team engages with various shelter homes across North India, hosting sessions on a broad array of diverse interests, from mobile photography to menstruation in transmen. Through social media, UTH also serves as a platform to amplify the voices of queer and trans* artists from the Indian subcontinent. We at UTH aspire to create safe spaces for all.
