Transgender Day of Remembrance 2024

At least 36 transgender people have died from violence in the 12 months since the last Day of Remembrance, according to the Human Rights Campaign. That figure is likely underreported, because many deaths often aren't reported or are misreported, or misgendering of the victims leads to delays in their identification. Transgender individuals are 2.5 times more likely than cisgender individuals to be victims of violent crimes. Furthermore, transgender women of color are even more likely to experience anti-trans violence.

Transgender Day of Remembrance is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
