Facts & History
What is Transgender Day of Remembrance?
The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, and mourns and honors the lives of transgender people. The Day of Remembrance gives transgender people and their allies a chance to step forward and stand in vigil for those who’ve died by anti-transgender violence.
TDOR started in 1999, by advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith, as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was murdered in Massachusetts in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester’s death.
Transgender Awareness Week raises awareness of the transgender community through advocacy and education.
