🌈 Transgender Awareness Week (Nov. 13–19, 2025)
Transgender Awareness Week centers education, advocacy, and solidarity with trans and gender-diverse people. Social workers help create safety and inclusion by affirming identity, supporting informed consent in care, and challenging systems that endanger trans lives.
Affirming practice is ethical practice. Trans liberation and social justice are interconnected — and advancing equity, safety, and belonging is core to our profession.
