Transgender Awareness Week (November 13–20, 2026)

Transgender Awareness Week is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate transgender and gender-diverse people, raise awareness about the challenges they may face, and promote understanding, acceptance and inclusion.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and valued for who they are. Through kindness, understanding and respect, we can help create welcoming and inclusive school communities where everyone belongs.

Trans Awareness Week takes place the week before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20. Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), is an annual observance on November 20 that honours the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence that year.
