Today, we celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility—a day to honor the strength, achievements, and lived experiences of transgender individuals worldwide. This day also calls us to advocate for equity, dignity, and human rights for all, challenging the systemic barriers and discrimination that trans communities continue to face.

We recognize the ongoing struggles against violence, exclusion, and inequality and commit to building a world where every person can thrive as their authentic self. Solidarity and action are needed now more than ever.

March is recognized as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 🧡

The intent of this month is to increase public awareness about developmental disabilities and promote acceptance, inclusiveness, education and understanding. This is important for many reasons, but just as Robert M. Hensel stated: “There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more.”

Orange is the official colour of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month as it symbolizes energy and positivity
