Elke jaar tussen November 13 - 19, people and organizations around the world participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help raise the visibility about transgender people and address issues members of the community face.
Gedurende die week tree transgender mense en hul bondgenote op om die kwessies van vooroordeel te berokken, diskriminasie, en geweld wat die transgender-gemeenskap onder die aandag van die gemeenskap raak, deur die publiek in te lig oor wie transgender mense is, deel stories en ervarings, en die bevordering van voorspraak.
Die week word afgesluit met Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) an annual observance on 20ste November that honours the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence during the year.
Transgender Day of Remembrance is in Amerika deur die transgender-advokaat Gwendolyn Ann Smith gestig as 'n waaksaamheid om die nagedagtenis van Rita Hester te vereer, 'n transgender vrou wat vermoor is in 1998.
