Trans youth leave 'bloody' handprints on NHS HQ
Briefly

Teenage activists from Trans Kids Deserve Better expressed their frustrations towards the NHS by creating "bloody" handprints on its headquarters in London. This act was a protest against the NHS's delay in releasing a suicide prevention report concerning trans youth, completed in March 2024 but withheld until 2026. Activists argue that this delay increases the perilous conditions faced by trans youth and undermines the urgency of addressing their mental health needs. They demand immediate action to prioritize the well-being of trans youth amidst rising discrimination and challenges.
Several young activists representing Trans Kids Deserve Better used red paint to create bloody handprints on the NHS HQ, protesting against the withholding of a critical suicide report for trans youth.
The NHS's refusal to release the suicide prevention report for trans kids is viewed as a harmful delay that exposes them to greater challenges in an already cruel climate.
