Trans Awareness Week


TRANSGENDER AWARENESS WEEK IS NOVEMBER 13 TO 19.

From GLAAD:

Transgender Awareness Week is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy around issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community.

We can prevent violence against trans people. Bystander intervention is essential skills that we all need to learn. Chat with DWS about booking a bystander intervention workshop for your group.

Draw the Line, a bystander intervention campaign created by Ontario sexual assault centres, created many scenarios about preventing the violence trans people experience:
