\nAcross the globe\, Transgender and Intersex people are disproporti onately the victims of violence\, rape\, murder\, suicide and honor killi ngs. \;
\n\nEven in England\, Transgender people have a higher mortality rate compared to Cisgender people. \;
\n\nThe names t hat will be read during the service are only those that we know the story behind. The majority of \;victims will never be known\, and their na mes are already forgotten.
\n\nWe wi
ll start by tying ribbons with the names of each victim on the fencing ou
tside the chaplaincy\, as a memorial to those siblings we have lost.
\nThe chaplaincy will be there for quiet reflection until 6:15\, at whic
h point there will be a one hour service dedicated to those victims. The
service will be largely non-religious\, out of respect for the diverse be
liefs of the victims whose names we shall read.
There w ill be a room in Chancellor'\;s Building available for relaxation\, an d a member of LGBT+ committee there to help provide signposting for those that need it.
\n\n5:15 Ribbon tying outside of th
e chaplaincy.
\n6:15 Service starts inside chapel\, there will be sp
eeches followed by the traditional reading of names.
\n7:15 Service
ends.
