Trans Day of Remembrance was founded on 20th November 1999 - but what is it?

What is Trans Day of Remembrance?

  • It was founded to remember those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia and to raise awareness of the continued violence directed at the trans community

When is it?

  • Trans Day of Remembrance is held annually on the 20th of November

Why is it important?

  • To raise awareness of anti-transgender violence, and to honour those within the trans community who have lost their lives to transphobia
  • It also gives us the chance to support and celebrate friends and family in the trans and non-gender conforming community, as well as to reduce stigma and offer hope

What can you do to help?

  • You can attend the reflective event being held at Taliesin on 20th November, from 4pm - 6pm
    • We are looking for contributors to share a piece of music or poetry, as well as showcase important work or research into supporting trans and non-binary lives and identities. If you would like to contribute, please get in touch here
  • Educate yourself about the lived experiences of the transgender community
  • Learn about the importance of pronouns
  • Recognise that there is anti-transgender discrimination
