“MIT (Movimento Identità Trans) is one of the most important associations of the Italian LGBTQ+ movement and certainly the oldest. Its official foundation dates back to the summer of 1979 when the protests of trans people became visible and after a few years, exactly on April 14, 1982, led to the approval of Law 164.
At that time, MIT fought not only for trans identity to be recognized but also and above all for the rights and dignity of trans people to be respected: their right to safe and guaranteed transit, the possibility of self-determination and designing their own life.
In the initial phase that goes from its birth to the approval of Law 164, MIT (which at the time was called Movimento Italiano Transexuals) was present with offices in Turin, Milan, Florence and Rome. Subsequently to these are added those of Bologna and Treviso.
MIT organizes its own national congresses in 1987 in Milan, in 1988 in Treviso, in 1989 in Rome during which the future trends and projects are outlined.”
“MIT provides protection of the mental, physical and social health of trans and it is aimed at both individuals and couples and families in need of psychological support through the MIT clinic.” As well as “harm reduction project for sex workers, carried out by an operational team made up of cultural mediators, peer educators, social workers and lawyers”. MIT also “promoting and defending the rights of LGBTI migrants who have chosen to live in our country. The service deals with social secretariat, assistance, counseling service, support and advice during the process of applying for international protection.”
