Jedes Jahr zwischen 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.
During the week transgender people and their allies take action to bring the issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community to the attention of the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy.
Die Woche endet mit dem Transgender-Tag der Erinnerung (TDOR) an annual observance on 20th November that honours the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence during the year.
Der Transgender Day of Remembrance wurde in Amerika von der Transgender-Anwältin Gwendolyn Ann Smith als Mahnwache zu Ehren der Erinnerung an Rita Hester gegründet, eine Transgender-Frau, die in getötet wurde 1998.
