| Description | Gender-affirming care is legal in Cyprus but puberty blockers are not provided to trans youth. In the northern part of Cyprus, there is no clear legal framework regulating the right to access the gender reconciliation process to prevent arbitrary and discriminatory practices. According to information provided to the Queer Cyprus Association Solidarity Line, trans people can only access gender-affirmative health services through private health service providers, and that these services are not considered within the scope of health insurance. |
