Visiting research fellow Professor Noriyo Kaneko of Nagoya City University Japan will be hosting a seminar on her research including:

  • HIV / STIs in Japan
  • Trans and Non-binary Access to Healthcare in Japan

 

Professor Kaneko’s visit is part of a wider collaboration between the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender and researchers in Japan on a new project into trans and non-binary healthcare within the country.

In Japan there is very little research concerning the health and wellbeing of trans and non-binary people (TNB), and even less still accessible in English. Both in Japan and Europe, trans and non-binary (TNB) people commonly experience significant health and social inequalities as well as challenges in receiving TNB specific health and care that is accessible, affordable, respectful, and of high quality. This represents an important area of policy and intervention development in both countries as well as globally.
