African Trans Network bot: grant/funding discovery, hate-crime & policy monitoring, plus a personal content-posting utility # ATN Bot One Telegram bot (`@AfricanTransNetworkbot`), two separate jobs sharing it: - **Phase 1 + Phase 2 are African Trans Network's actual mission tooling.** - **Phase 3 is an unrelated personal utility** (Theo's own Facebook/Instagram + the ZAF Consultancy website gallery) that happens to live in the same bot for convenience. Nothing in Phase 3 is ATN-branded or ATN-specific. This repo is intentionally **fully separate** from Theo's existing `visual-versatility-autopost` pipeline — own repo, own secrets, own Meta app, own Telegram bot.

Triages eligibility and drafts a summary — **never auto-submits an application**. A person always does the actual submission. ### Phase 2 — Hate-crime & policy monitoring (`phase2_monitor/`) Tracks anti-trans violence and policy/constitutional regressions across Africa's regions, plus Africa-relevant activity from international anti-gender-movement organizations (e.g. Family Watch International). Surfaces candidates into a **human review queue** before anything counts toward published statistics — verification before publication, always. Public-facing stats stay at region/country aggregation; anything more granular stays internal to ATN. ### Phase 3 — Personal content posting (`phase3_content/`) Not ATN's. Send a photo/video to the bot, it generates a caption + hashtags and posts to whichever destination you point it at: - `destinations/personal_fb_ig.py` — Theo's personal Facebook/Instagram - `destinations/zaf_gallery.py` — the ZAF Consultancy website's public gallery page (via a scoped API route/secret, not direct DB access) Built first, since it's the lowest-risk, fastest way to prove the fresh Telegram + Me …
