Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), also known as International Transgender Day of Remembrance is observed every year on November 20 to honor the memory of transgender individuals whose lives have been lost due to anti-transgender violence. It was founded in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith after the brutal murder of Rita Hester, a transgender woman. TDOR serves as both a memorial for those who have tragically lost their lives and a call to action to end violence and discrimination against transgender people.
