Trans Awareness Week

NOVEMBER 13 - 19

Trans Day of Remembrance

NOVEMBER 20

What is Trans Awareness Week?

Trans Awareness Week is held from November 13th - 19th in the week leading up to Trans Day of Remembrance to help raise awareness of trans and gender diverse people, the issues facing our communities, and the ways people can get involved as allies to improve lives and create a more fair and equal world for everyone.

‍

What is Trans Day of Remembrance?

Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honours the memory of the trans lives lost to acts of transphobia and discrimination.

On November 20, we hold a day of gathering, togetherness, and community solidarity. We remember those we've lost, celebrate our strength in the face of adversity, and commit to fighting transphobia to create a better, safer, and more inclusive world for everyone.

Coming Together As A Community
