The International Transgender Day of Remembrance, aka Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), takes place
annually on November 20. On this day we remember the hundreds of people who are
killed as a result of transphobia. Attention is also drawn to the violence
against transgender and gender diverse people. In no less than 185 cities in more than 20 countries
this is considered.

The International Gay Monument The Hague is located on the Koekamp, ​​near The Hague Central
(Avenue of Reagan and Gorbachev). This monument commemorates all lesbian women, homosexual
men, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex people, anywhere in the world, who
persecuted and oppressed because of their orientation or gender identity.

The commemoration will be streamed live via the YouTube channel International Homomonument The Hague (See: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2g8rU-xV5wzJyVtwegwKf )
