This year saw at least 350 transgender people worldwide, murdered as a result of transphobic violence - a 6% increase on 2019’s reported murders. 

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) and the last day of Transgender Awareness Week, a day dedicated to our trans siblings who’s time has been cut short because of the prejudice of others. 

Here's what the data collected by Transrespect Versus Transphobia shows us…

350 trans and gender-diverse people were murdered, 6% more than in the TMM update 2019.

98% of those murdered globally were trans women or trans feminine people.

62% of murdered trans people whose occupation is known were sex workers.

People of colour make up 79% of the 28 trans people murdered in the USA.

11 trans people murdered in Europe; 50% were migrants.

82% of all the murders registered happened in Central and South America; 43% in Brazil.

38% of the murders took place on the street and 22% in their own residence.

The average age of those murdered is 31 years old; the youngest being 15 years old.

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as growing racism and police brutality, the lives of trans and gender-diverse people are at even greater risk. Data is a testimony of how COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting trans people worldwide, especially those most marginalised, such as Black and women of colour, sex workers, migrants, youth, and poor.

Behind the statistical representation of numbers and percentages, there are people whose lives we value and who we, as societies, failed to protect. Aggregated data indicates that Black and migrant trans women of colour are more vulnerable and frequently targeted. Social stigma and criminalisation of sex work expose trans sex workers to abuse, exploitation, and violence. At the same time, those groups are repeatedly silenced and underrepresented within our communities and societies. 

Although COVID-19 affects us all, social differences and inequalities are deepened by the pandemic, emphasising gaps in lack of legislation and systemic protection of trans and gender-diverse people.

❤️🤍💙🙏🏼 Destigmatize mental illness and increase access to free mental health treatment. Mental health treatment should not be so expensive that it’s out of reach for those who need it most. #VeteransDay

Here are some beautiful pictures Me (@armybratchic) and @compassion_byq took from some of Kamala Harris rallies. We supported @kamalaharris from day one! We believed all that she stood for and continue to believe all that she stands for.
We are beyond proud of all she represents and what she means to our communities 💙🦋.
