The 13th International Transgender Day of Remembrance is being held on November 20th 2011: Since
1999, the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), on which those trans
people who have been victims of homicide are remembered, takes place
every November. The TDOR raises public awareness of hate crimes against
trans people, provides a space for public mourning and honours the
lives of those trans people who might otherwise be forgotten. Started
in the USA, the TDOR is now held in many parts of the world. In the
past, the TDOR took place in more than 180 cities in more than 20
countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
Sadly, this year there are 221 trans persons to be added to
the list to be remembered, mourned and honoured as an update of the
preliminary results of Transgender Europe’s Trans Murder Monitoring
project reveals.
You can find a list with names and more detailed data here.
