March 31st is Transgender Visibility Day
March 31st is Transgender Visibility Day, an important date to recognize and celebrate transgender people and their identities, while also aiming to raise awareness about the challenges faced by this community. Created in 2009, the day is an opportunity to promote respect, equality and rights for trans people, highlighting the importance of combating transphobia and supporting social inclusion.
International Transgender Visibility Day is marked by events, activities and awareness campaigns around the world, which seek to give visibility to the achievements and daily struggles of trans people. The date also highlights the importance of ensuring a safe and welcoming environment so that these people can live authentically, without fear of discrimination or violence.
Visibility is a central theme of this day, since, despite advances in some parts of the world, the trans population still faces high rates of violence, prejudice and difficulties in accessing health and education services.
