NEW YORK — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has released a report with a series of recommendations to better serve the transgender, gender-nonconforming and nonbinary community in New York City and across the country.
The report, described by the DA’s office as a “first-of-its-kind effort” is designed to enhance the work of prosecutors when dealing with community members who are trans or whose gender identity or expression might differ from the more traditional male/female gender roles.
Released Friday, the report was the result of a collaboration between current DA staff members and LGBTQ community stakeholders, including the NYC Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, the NYC Commission on Human Rights, and the Hetrick Martin Institute, the nation’s oldest nonprofit serving LGBTQ youth.
