Today we celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility. Trans activist Rachel Crandell-Crocker created the day in 2009, to celebrate Trans people and to raise awareness of the barriers and abuse faced by Trans people worldwide.
It was with heavy hearts that we all took the news of the devastating racist attack on Asian women in Atlanta, Georgia this week. Our condolences go out to the loved ones of the victims.
It was established by the UN General Assembly in 1966 to remember the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre. On that day, 69 protesters were murdered for speaking up against apartheid laws in South Africa.
