During Brazil’s 1st National March for Trans Visibility, we will raise a giant trans flag with thousands of signatures from supporters around the world.
Add YOUR name to the flag today!
On January 28, the 1st National March for Trans Visibility will take place in Brazil’s capital, Brasília, a giant milestone that celebrates twenty years of Trans Visibility in Brazil.
And you can take part in this historic moment, no matter where you are in the world!
In Brasília, we will raise a giant Trans Pride flag with thousands of printed signatures from people all over the world who want to send their love and solidarity to travestis, trans women and trans men across Brazil.
Brazil is one of the world’s most dangerous countries for travestis and trans people. That's why your support is so crucial. The more signatures, the bigger the flag and the louder our message:
We are many, we are strong, and we stand by Brazil's travesti and trans community!
Do you want to see your name printed on the flag?
Besides taking this giant trans flag, with thousands of your signatures, to the first March for Trans Visibility in Brazil, we'll also be presenting it to local lawmakers
On January 29, we’ll meet with Brazilian authorities and present them with your signatures, to remind them that they have the responsibility and duty to protect trans lives.
Brazil is one of the most dangerous countries for trans people. According to this report (in Portuguese) by ANTRA – the National Association of Travestis and Trans People – between 2017 and 2022 alone, 912 murders of travestis, trans women, trans men and non-binary people were recorded in Brazil.
This makes Brazil the country with the highest number of recorded murders of trans people in the world.
That's why your voice means so much: you can send your love and solidarity to travestis, trans women and trans men – even if you don't belong to one of these identities.
Wherever you are, you can sign the special flag and be represented at the trans march.
On January 29, Brazil celebrates National Trans Visibility Day.
The date is a milestone that began in 2004, as a result of the work of travestis linked to ANTRA and the Ministry of Health's HIV/AIDS Department. Together, they worked on the first campaign to prevent STI/AIDS and fight back against transphobia in Brazil.
It's a very important date because visibility helps make people more aware of trans people – which can help to reduce the prejudice, intolerance, discrimination, rights violations and extreme violence that make up transphobia.
But it's also a day when these communities come together, support each other and celebrate their identities.
By signing the flag, you can also be part of this celebration and give even more visibility to Brazilian trans identities.
