Stichting Treat it Queer

The Treat it Queer Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation founded and lead by young queer health care professionals. At Treat it Queer, we believe that queer people around the world deserve safe, comprehensive, and high-quality health care adapted to their unique needs. We seek to cultivate a growing awareness and understanding of the existing health inequities affecting gender and sexually diverse people worldwide, as well as bring greater visibility to the real, lived experiences of queer people in clinical practice, policy, and research. We aim to do so using an intersectional approach, examining the ways in which different axes of privilege and oppression simultaneously contribute to health inequities. The dismantlement of power dynamics related - and not limited - to gender, race and class is central in our work. Treat it Queer is an international non-profit foundation dedicated to health justice, with a particular focus on the queer community. It is based in the Netherlands and operates in the international landscape thanks to numerous collaborations with other NGOs and health organizations.
