Who We Are

More Than an Organisation. A Movement for Dignity and Equality

The Forge Foundation was established in March 2025 to address the urgent need for advocacy, visibility, and protection of Trans and Intersex communities in South Africa.

We stand at the forefront of social justice and human rights, building bridges between communities, policymakers, and institutions to ensure inclusion in all spheres of society.

Our Mission

To champion and defend the rights of Trans and Intersex people through advocacy, policy engagement, education, legal support, and community empowerment.

Our Vision

A just and inclusive society where Trans and Intersex individuals live free from stigma, violence, and discrimination, and thrive with equal access to opportunities.

Our Values

Guided by Integrity. Driven by Justice. United in Dignity.

Our work is built on the belief that true equality is achieved through honesty, compassion, and collective strength. Every action we take reflects our commitment to integrity, respect for human dignity, solidarity with our communities, and the pursuit of justice for all.
