Held annually, the day remembers the movements and protests against the significant lack of and access to treatments and services for people who use drugs (PWUD); particularly in terms of inadequate public health policy and response to the disproportionate rates of blood borne viruses such as hepatitis and HIV amongst communities of PWUD globally who remain highly stigmatised and marginalised populations.
An opportunity for the sex worker movement to stand up alongside other movements, show solidarity with the trans community, call for an end to incarceration of black and trans sex workers, protest for the decriminalisation of sex work, and fight for justice for the members of our community who died in custody.
Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honours the memory of the trans lives lost to acts of transphobia and discrimination.
