Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day we honour the memory of people we have lost because of transphobic bullying, abuse and violence. Respect, empathy and community are values that drive every aspect of our work. We're committed to creating safer spaces for trans young people in Scotland and we will never let up in that mission.
Our 2017 research revealed that 27% of trans people surveyed left education as a result of homophobia, biphobia or transphobia. This #TransAwarenessWeek and #AntiBullyingWeek we must strive to create school environments that are supportive and inclusive of trans young people.
