Once again, this year our city will stand together for Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on Friday, November 20 – an important date for the trans community and their allies to come together to reflect, and to stand-up against hatred.Ahead of the memorial service, Cllr Phélim Mac Cafferty, Brighton & Hove City Council leader, commented:“On TDoR we once again look across the world, remembering trans people killed this year for nothing other than being who they are.
Trans people still face a totally unacceptable level of discrimination, prejudice and ignorance. Figures from the last year tell us transphobic hate crime in the city is up 43% while nationally it has mushroomed to nearly double that-81%.
