Transgender and travesti rights in Argentina have been lauded by many as some of the world's most progressive.[1][2] The country "has one of the world's most comprehensive transgender rights laws":[3] its Gender Identity Law, passed in 2012, made Argentina the "only country that allows people to change their gender identities without facing barriers such as hormone therapy, surgery or psychiatric diagnosis that labels them as having an abnormality".[4][5] In 2015, the World Health Organization cited Argentina as an exemplary country for providing transgender rights.[5] Leading transgender activists include Lohana Berkins, Diana Sacayán, Mariela Muñoz, María Belén Correa, Marlene Wayar, Claudia Pía Baudracco, Susy Shock and Lara Bertolini.
Currently,[as of?] Argentine trans activists are pushing for anti-discrimination and employment quota laws, as well as to stop killings of trans people.[6]
The "Day of the Promotion of the Rights of Trans People" is celebrated in the city of Buenos Aires and in Santa Fe Province on March 18, in memory of activist Claudia Pía Baudracco.[7][8]
