In this week’s Lunch N’ Learn event, our Sexual Assault prevention educators will be raising awareness about violence against transgender individuals, specifically transgender people of color.

Despite progressive strides in the LGBTQ+ movement, transgender people of color are still at greater risk of interpersonal violence, sexual and intimate partner violence, and hate crimes. This presentation will also examine the compounding impact of other forms of discrimination, such as education, employment, health care, police violence, and housing stability.

This event focuses on putting the needs of the trans community at the forefront, especially during Pride Month. Let’s lift up transgender people of color, and acknowledge their daily struggles to liberation.
