P.A. remembers victims of anti-transgender violence
Today marks international Transgender Day of Remembrance.
To recognize this Prince Albert Pride and various partners organized an event Sunday to remember the victims of anti-trans violence.
“The day is designed to highlight the very high incidents of violence faced by people in the trans and gender diverse community,” Lana Wilson said, treasurer of Prince Albert Pride. “That group is absolutely among the highest worldwide at risk of violence.”
Advocates and supporters gathered for what Wilson called “an incredibly moving and somber” occasion to remember the 355 people who have lost their lives around the world to anti-trans violence.
