Trans Awareness Week: Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil

Trans Day of Remembrance is an annual day to honour the memory of trans people whose lives have been lost to violence and transphobia.

Join us in the Chapel for a space of reflection, remembrance, and solidarity. The vigil will include readings of the names of those lost this year, a moment of silence, and an opportunity to speak at the vigil, whether that be poetry, short prose, or improvised thought.

This event is open to all students and staff who wish to stand in support of the trans community.

Trans Awareness Week is an annual campaign held 13 -19 November dedicated to centering the experiences and voices of the transgender community and educating the public about the challenges trans and gender nonconforming people face. This November, RHSU’s Trans Awareness Week will be led by LGBT+ Students Community Officer, Derwen Fay, with support from RHSU LGBT+ Society and SU staff.
