Montreal marks the International Trans Day of Visibility

Since 2009, the International Trans Day of Visibility has celebrated trans people and their contributions to culture and society as a whole. The annual observance, which takes place on March 31, also aims to raise awareness about the trans community and transphobia. In a statement this morning, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante noted that the city is committed to supporting trans rights.

“On this International Day of Trans Visibility, we celebrate the diversity and resilience of the trans community. Montreal is also committed to supporting the fundamental rights of trans people to dignity and equality.”
