Bill > SRes511

This resolution supports the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance, which originated in 1998 following the unsolved murder of Rita Hester, a transgender woman of color. The resolution highlights the ongoing epidemic of violence against transgender people in the United States, noting that at least 27 transgender or gender nonconforming individuals were violently killed in 2025, with worldwide losses reaching 241 people. It emphasizes the disproportionate impact on transgender women of color and Black transgender women, while also addressing systemic challenges such as healthcare barriers, high suicide rates, homelessness, and discrimination. The resolution recognizes the significant obstacles faced by the transgender community, including legislative attacks, healthcare restrictions, and social marginalization. By affirming the basic human rights of all individuals, the resolution supports efforts to study and prevent violence against transgender people, acknowledges the community's resilience and leadership, and calls for urgent action to protect and respect transgender individuals in all aspects of society.
