Transgender Day of Remembrance 2006
The Transgender Day of Remembrance is set aside each year to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November each year to honor Rita Hester, whose murder in 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Since then, the event has grown to encompass memorials in dozens of cities across the world.
Kaete spoke at this event, Parliament House, Sydney, as the invited key note speaker.
