Korean Transgender Rights Organisation JOGAKBO
is an organisation that advocates for the rights of transgender people and works on gender and diversity issues.


As our name(*JOGAKBO, 조각보 means a Patchwork Quilt in Korean language) suggests, the complex lives of transgender people are intertwined, and various aspects of gender identity come together. 


We hope to spread a sculpture in Korean society where different colours have their own colours, but also come together.


The values of the transgender rights organisation are:


Sustainable life as a transgender person is our main value.

We want to conduct feminist activities that reflect our concerns about gender and diversity.

We want to be a platform for various activities that can improve transgender human rights.
