#TDoR2025

Today and every day, we honour the lives of all our trans siblings worldwide who have been taken from us. Each name represents a person, a community, a story cut short. Their stories endure in our memory and in our ongoing struggle for justice.

Transgender Day of Remembrance | November 20th

Today, we honour the lives of our transgender and gender-diverse siblings whose light was stolen by violence, hate, and systemic erasure.We remember every name, every story, every journey.

We remember. We resist. We rise.

In a time when anti-rights groups push to silence and criminalize us, we choose solidarity, inclusion, and justice.
