Growing Support for Transgender Rights Worldwide

On March 31, 2023, Tucson, Arizona’s streets turned into an explosion of colors to mark the International Transgender Day of Visibility. According to REUTERS photographer Rebecca Noble, this once again underlined the growing support and acknowledgment of transgender rights within the global community. This annual event is important in promoting the visible existence of transgender people and highlighting their achievements as well as challenges. It is a convenient platform to be used in order to create a better understanding, awareness, and equality and to eliminate discrimination that is faced by many individuals nowadays.

Nevertheless, the rally in Tucson was not the only event associated with this topic, as it was accompanied by numerous others that took place worldwide. From my point of view, this tendency is indicative of a developing movement, which involves transgender rights and can be treated as an integral part of the system of human rights. Moreover, such events should inevitably lead to an increase in the visibility of this issue, which in its turn will give a valuable impression of support and community.
