On this National Day of Action, the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence honors and affirms the lives of trans women of color. Trans women, particularly trans women of color, experience violence such as harassment, assault, discrimination, and homicide at profoundly higher rates than the general population. In order to truly address the root causes and impacts of gender-based violence, we must commit to and practice centering the voices and experiences of those most impacted: trans women of color and all transgender people.
