Design of TGEU’s first digital trans rights index.

Case study to come

Intro

TGEU Trans Rights Map illustrates the legal situation of 49 countries in Europe and 5 in Central Asia.

The main goal of this project was to pass from a table sheet view to an interactive filter-based map — aim to be used by activists and politicians. It shows country-specific requirements for legal gender recognition, as well as existing protections for trans people in asylum, hate crime/speech, non-discrimination, health, and family.

For this project, I interviewed delegates of the European Council, activists, country representatives to further understand context of usage, and this way be able to provide useful features.

Rich actionable information

The main goal in this map was to show information that was precise in terms of punctual rights, as well as the context such as country.
This provides vision on the state-of-things, as well as a strong motivation for countries to step up in the law making process to ensure the rights are met.

‍

Country View

Every country becomes an object with it's own measurement, allowing for a quick overview of the state-of-things in the different dimensions : Legal Gender Recognition, Asylum, Hate Speech / Crime, Non-Discrimination, Health, Family.

‍

The members of the European council expressed a need to quickly overview the country's status and in-detail of the rights that are covered

‍

Complex categories broken down

A vast majority of the dimensions measured in this map are complex subjects that require 2 or more laws. Which is why we broke it down via filters that allow to vision each of the laws that make up a dimension.

‍

Activists and lawmakers both spoke about the importance of breaking down goals in order to achieve them.

‍

Legal Gender Recognition cluster

To better motivate countries to take action, TGEU decided to cluster countries in a level system, different requirements help countries get to a higher level. The challenge here was to explain each cluster, and let users interact and see the countries per cluster.

‍

Tracing marks and grading progress was expressed a clear motivator for a country to listen to activists, as we can clearly see where the rest of the countries stand.

‍

A simplified mobile experience

Since a big part of activists and EU council members need information on the go, I designed an immersive map experience, where users can access overview information quickly.

‍

Navigation in the mobile experience is facilitated by position main controls to go through a list of countries.
