Transgender Awareness Week 13th-19th November and Transgender Day of Remembrance 20th November

Každý rok od novembra 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.

V priebehu týždňa transrodové osoby a ich spojenci podniknú kroky na riešenie problémov predsudkov, diskriminácia, a násilie, ktoré ovplyvňuje transsexuálnu komunitu, do pozornosti komunity prostredníctvom vzdelávania verejnosti o tom, kto sú transsexuáli, zdieľanie príbehov a skúseností, a presadzovanie advokácie.

Týždeň sa končí Pamätným dňom transsexuálov (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.

Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in America by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honour the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998.
