Rapid Review of Gender-Affirming Healthcare for Children and Adolescents: Evidence Synthesis (2021–2025) and Recommendations for South Africa

2025Open accessRhodes University

Abstract

When we affirm, young people thrive. When we delay or deny, they suffer.This review is a reminder that every young person deserves care that sees them, respects them, and allows them to grow into who they truly are without fear. It is a call to parents, teachers, health professionals, faith leaders, policymakers, and community members to walk alongside our youth with compassion and clarity.In the spirit of <i>Ubuntu</i>, we remember: A child's wellbeing is never theirs alone. It is held in the hands of all of us.
