Transgender Awareness Week
Transgender Awareness Week
Transgender Awareness Week is a vibrant and empowering event that lights up the calendar in mid-November each year, culminating in Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th. While Transgender Day of Remembrance memorialises the tragic deaths of victims of violent transphobia, this week is a festival of understanding and celebration, where the transgender community and their allies paint the town with stories, educational events, and activities.
Get ready for a jubilant rally for embracing diverse gender identities, filled with tales of triumph, fabulous expressions of self, and a shared quest for equality. While this week culminates in memorialising past tragedies, this celebration is all about acknowledging the incredible contributions of transgender folks, and taking giant, colourful strides towards a more inclusive future. It’s not just a week; it’s a movement, a celebration, a chance to change the world one rainbow at a time!
