Welcome to Global transgender safety tasks force USA Inc. 916 502 5078

Our officers, board members, staff, and volunteers are dedicated to protecting and defending the human rights of trans and gender non-conforming people within the United States and around the world.

Our founder, Ms. Lawrence (pictured above), is a trans woman from Liberia, West Africa. A three-time hate crime survivor, Ms. Lawrence bears the physical scars of those attacks. Now, she has dedicated herself to helping protect the gender non-conforming community. As a long time photojournalist, Ms. Lawrence has documented the plight of the community in Africa, the Unites States, and elsewhere. She also obtained asylum herself in the United States and then U.S. citizenship. For the past 10 years, Ms. Lawrence has worked actively to help members of the community in Africa escape the dangers they face in many countries there. 

Ms. Lawrence is recognized as a leader of the gender non-conforming community. Ms. Lawrence appeared in the documentary film “Major,” which entails the life and work of pioneering trans women. She was also honored to be selected as one of the two Grand Marshals of the Sacramento Pride Parade in June 2018, an event that annually draws an audience of 10,000 – 15,000 people. Member of the Board of Directors for Sacramento Pride and LGBT Center.
