In the HIV sector, we know that trans communities encounter systemic barriers to care, advocacy, and support. We must commit to ensuring that our spaces are inclusive, affirming, and driven by the leadership of trans people. Visibility must go hand in hand with action—through policy change, equitable funding, and amplifying trans voices in decision-making spaces.
Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) is a time to recognize the achievements of trans individuals while also acknowledging the ongoing challenges they face—particularly in accessing healthcare, safety, and fundamental rights. To our trans colleagues, friends, and community members: we see you, we support you, and we stand with you.
