International Transgender Day of Visibility: 31 March

March 30, 2023

International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an annual event on 31 March dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society.

The day was founded by transgender activist Rachel Crandall in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of LGBT recognition of transgender people. The first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held on 31 March 2009.

TDOV also provides an opportunity for trans and non-binary people to feel seen through positive and realistic representation – and for allies to learn more about how they can stand in solidarity.
