More than 200 transgender activists from 38 countries gathered in Berlin May 2-4 for the 2nd European Transgender Council.
In addition to nearly all European and Eurasian nations, attendees came from Israel, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, Peru, Russia and the United States.
A study was presented that found transgender people �continue to face massive violations of their human rights in most European states,� organizers said in a statement.
