On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember those who have died because of transphobia. The transgender community endures ongoing discrimination and violence & we recognize that it can have far-reaching impacts on children/youth. We stand with those who fight for equity & justice.
#TransDayOfRemembrance is a day to honour lives lost due to ignorance and hate against transgender or gender non-conforming people.
This day, take a moment to reflect on the ongoing fight for equality within the trans and non-binary community.
Here is what you need to know right now about the compensation agreement for First Nations children, young people and families harmed by Canada's discriminatory approach to child welfare and Jordan's Principle.
