Transgender Week of Awareness runs from Sunday 13 November to Saturday 19 November, followed by Transgender Day of Remembrance on Sunday 20 November.

It’s a time to celebrate and empower our trans, non-binary and gender diverse whānau, and remember the trans people we’ve lost in the last year.

OutLine is excited to invite you to two special Trans Week of Awareness panel discussions, which will explore the theme of ‘Our Bodies, Our Stories’.

We’ll also be holding a service for Trans Day of Remembrance, which honours the memory of trans people around the world whose lives were taken in acts of anti-transgender violence.
