Transgender Day of Remembrance or (TDoR) is an observance day which occurs on 20th of November since its inception to memorialize the victims of transphobia. It is a day to bring the attention of the continued violence endured by transgender people. A TDoR memorial includes reading the names of deceased victims from the past one year, candlelight vigils, art shows and many more.
This Day of Remembrance was founded by a transgender woman named Gwendolyn Ann Smith in the year 1999 to commemorate the murder of Rita Hester, a transgender woman in Allston Massachusetts. Since then, it has tremendously evolved from a web-based project into an Internal Remembrance Day.
