Each November, we honor Transgender Awareness Month, recognizing the lives, challenges, and contributions of transgender and gender-diverse individuals. This observance reaffirms our commitment to understanding, advocacy, and support.
Empowering the transgender community amplifies their voices in policy and strengthens trans-led organizations, helping combat discrimination, educate the public, and create safe spaces. Together, we build a more just and equitable world.
Key ways to support Trans Awareness Month include:
- Visibility & Advocacy: Highlighting violence against transgender individuals and promoting policy changes for equality.
- Community Support: Creating spaces for solidarity, healing, and mourning within the community.
- Education & Awareness: Learning about transgender issues to break stereotypes and reduce misinformation.
- Active Support: Donating, volunteering, and amplifying transgender voices to enhance trans-led initiatives.
As we observe this month, let’s honor lost lives and celebrate the resilience of those advocating justice and safety. Care Resource’s Project sTrenGth offers critical gender-affirming care and resources.
Many face barriers to healthcare, says Myka Osorio, Medical Project Coordinator. Project sTrenGth bridges that gap, connecting individuals to essential support.
