Vancouver Rape Relief
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly invite Fazeela Jiwa, Daisy Kerr, and all the other Vancouver Rape Relief staff and volunteers to this event. By attending this year's TDOR it might give them a small, teensy-weensy, lil' taste of the violence trans people (and poor, racialized, trans women in the sex trade especially) are subject to on a daily basis. Further, it might also allow them to see how they are complicit in these deaths by denying trans women access to their much needed (and valuable/important/etc) services!
Regards,
Kay Lamothe
P.S. In the meantime, here are some articles on concrete ways you can make your shelters/detoxes/transition houses more trans inclusive:
