Transgender Welfare Equity and Empowerment Trust (TWEET)
The TWEET Foundation, headquartered in New Delhi and Mumbai, is a community-driven organisation in India. Founded in 2015 by seven trans activists, it focuses on supporting the emerging trans movement, with a particular emphasis on addressing the challenges faced by the transmen (female to male) community. This group often experiences severe gender-based violence, marginalisation, and a lack of visibility.

TWEET Foundation & Queer Ink Collaboration
