Transgender Day of Remembrance is observed every year on 20 November to memorialise those who were killed over the last 12 months as a result of transphobia, and to draw attention to the continued violence endured by transgender people.
Our LGBT+ Staff Network is partnering with the student LGBT society Queer Napier, ENSA and the University’s new chaplaincy service to mark the day with a short vigil at Morningside United Church at 5pm on Wednesday, 20 November.
Colleagues and students of all faiths, or none, are invited to honour the memory of, and pay their respects to, people whose lives were lost to acts of anti-transgender violence.
