On November 20, Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the memories and mourn the loss of all transgender, two-spirit, non-binary and gender non-conforming people who were victims of violence, hatred and discrimination. Let’s remember and work for change to end all forms of transphobic violence and discrimination in the workplace, at home, and in the community. #transdayofrememberance

Trans Day of Remembrance serves as a stark reminder of how much work we still must do – and better allies we all can be – to make our communities and workplaces safer and more inclusive.

We all have a role in supporting gender diversity and inclusion.
