2024 Transgender Day of Awareness

Sunday, March 31, marks the annual Transgender Day of Visibility (# TransDayOfVisiblity or# TDOV ). Transgender and genderfluid people who are subject to discrimination, deception, and shame have a chance to celebrate the occasion of global awareness day.

Tori Cooper, the director of community engagement for the Trans Justice Initiative, said in a press release for the LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign ( HRC ) that” Trans Day of Visibility is a day to celebrate the beauty and resilience of our dynamic community.”

” Trans individuals are powerful”, Cooper, who is also a part of the National Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS, continued,” we are happy, and we’re not going somewhere”.

To guard transgender women’s health, protect their rights to:

➡️Safety
➡️Justice
➡️Education
➡️Employment
➡️Social defense
➡️Community- led service
➡️Gender- vulnerable healthcare#TDOV2024# TDOV# TransgenderDayofVisibility photograph. twitter.com/Wrda6BYaQa

There are over 1.6 million transgender, nonbinary and sex- wide children ( time 13+ ) and people across the United States, according to HRC.

Search# TDOV and# TransDayOfVisibility on social media to find campaigns, stories and events ( both in- person and digital ). This article contains examples of messages. Take notice that there are many activities taking place on and after March 31. ( And to refute any conspiracy theories that claim that TDOV is a direct attack on Easter, even though it occurs on the same day as Easter this year, that is a coincidence. Easter is celebrated on numerous times, while TDOV is always observed on March 31.

We also reaffirm our commitment to doing everything in our power to protect the trans community by honoring and celebrating Trans Day of Visibility, according to HRC leader Kelley Robinson. The planned assault on trans rights “is a disturbing reality that warrants quick action and intervention,” a sobering reality.

To tag# TransDayofVisibility, @TENI_Tweets has released a wonderful new movie celebrating trans happiness. #GCNnewshttps: //t. co/l49lQGFxRs

Transgender people, particularly those of colour, experience a higher risk for HIV. This significant HIV danger was the subject of earlier this year’s report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The document underscored that HIV rates were related to discrimination, violence, poverty and small uptake of pre- exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, to avoid HIV. In this POZ content, learn more about the document.

For HIV- associated posts in POZ, push# Transgender. You’ll find articles such as” Bathroom Bills Are Back—Broader and Stricter—in Several States”,” R. I. P. Cecilia Gentili, Beloved Trans Advocate, Actress and Author” and” Prevention: PrEP for Trans Women”.
