Trans Day of Remembrance

Every year on November 20th, people around the world come together to observe Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). This solemn day is dedicated to honoring the memory of transgender individuals whose lives were lost to violence and transphobia. It is a time to reflect on the challenges faced by the trans community, celebrate their resilience, and commit to building a safer, more inclusive world. Transgender Day of Remembrance is more than just a day—it is a movement toward justice, equality, and love.

The statistics paint a grim picture: transgender people, particularly trans women of color, face disproportionately high rates of violence, discrimination, and poverty. Despite these challenges, the trans community continues to inspire with their strength, creativity, and unwavering demand for justice.

One of the most impactful ways to honor this day is by supporting organizations that directly help LGBTQ+ youth and individuals in need. By supporting LGBTQ+ youth and trans-focused charities, we not only honor the lives lost but also invest in the safety, well-being, and future of the transgender community. Let’s ensure that remembrance is paired with action—because together, we can create a world where everyone feels safe and valued.
