Transgender Day of Visibility 2022

Transgender Day of Visibility 2022

Held on 31 March, Trans Day of Visibility is an annual international celebration of trans pride and awareness and recognises the experiences and achievements of the trans and gender diverse community.

For a community that is too often underrepresented, Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) is about reclaiming space and being visible on their terms.

For many trans and gender diverse people, a lack of representation, role models, and community can be isolating and make it difficult to feel proud in their identities.

RMIT is committed to the inclusion of the trans and gender diverse community.

Whilst there is always space to do and be better, RMIT has made great progress on some key pieces of work including: 

A key priority moving forward will be progressing the preferred name project, to ensure that all students can use a preferred name at RMIT and have this name reflected in all platforms and systems (other than where legal name is required).

We want to hear from you! 

We're calling for students and staff to share their lived experience through a series of Listening Groups dedicated to shaping RMIT's Diversity and Inclusion Framework and Action Plans 2022.
