Trans Awareness Week

Transgender Awareness Week is observed annually and is a vital opportunity to raise awareness about the experiences of transgender and gender-diverse individuals. 

Trans Awareness Week is a time dedicated to raising visibility and support for the transgender community. This week promotes awareness of the issues and challenges that transgender and gender non-conforming people face, including discrimination, violence, and lack of access to healthcare. Through education and sharing personal stories, the week aims to foster acceptance, empathy, and respect within society.

The week concludes with Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) on November 20, which honours the memory of transgender individuals who have lost their lives due to acts of violence. This day serves as a sombre reminder of the hardships faced by transgender people and reinforces the need for continued advocacy, inclusivity, and protection for this community.
