This is a day of tremendous grief. We have been commemorating Trans Day of Remembrance since 1999 when we united in grief to remember Rita Hester, a black trans woman who had been murdered. Despite our best efforts, 26 years later, the violence not only continues but is actively encouraged by global anti-rights efforts that deny the very existence of trans people, fuel hatred and oppose the recognition of the basic human rights of trans people. The violence that trans people face is not an isolated issue. It is deeply intertwined with the systemic exclusion of trans people from various aspects of social, economic and cultural life, which makes us vulnerable to violence and discrimination. Urgent action must be taken to protect and secure the human rights of trans people. “Through memory, we heal” is a printable journal for healing and reflection . We developed this simple tool to help process grief, honour memories, and care for yourself and each other. It includes journaling prompts, creative activities, grounding techniques, and rituals to practice alone or with your community. Take the time you need for healing and reflection. Despite growing awareness of the issues facing trans people and the extent of marginalisation experienced by trans communities worldwide, violence against trans people and trans communities has not abated. Will the cycle of violence ever end? TGEU’s Trans Murder Monitoring project crosses 5,000 cases
