An annual occasion to remember the trans people around the world who we have lost to transphobic violence.
About this Event
This event is for queer SFU/FIC students, and especially those students who identify as trans and non-binary and are multiply marginalised (e.g., BIPOC, disabled, low-income, etc.).
Join us on this night as we remember those in our community who have been taken from us this year, honour those who are still here, and find strength and hope in community. The event will be held on our Discord server.
What is Trans Day of Remembrance?
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) began in 1999 in response to the (unsolved) murder of a black trans woman, Rita Hester, whose identity was often misrepresented in local news reports. This remains a common occurrence in some media reporting today.
TDOR is held annually on November 20th and is an opportunity to sincerely remember the trans people around the world we have lost to transphobic, transmisogynistic, and racist violence, and to support the trans community they have left behind.
