Join us at the University of Luxembourg on <strong>23 April<\/strong> as we listen to the courageous narratives and profound insights shared by both staff and students. The event commences at 18.30&nbsp;on Belval Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where transphobia persists and discrimination threatens the rights of transgender people, this day holds even greater significance. Shockingly, recent studies indicate that 42% of transgender adults in the US have attempted suicide (Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu\/press\/transpop-suicide-press-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Williams Institute UCLA<\/a>) \u2014 a staggering statistic that underscores the urgent need for societal support and acceptance. Additionally, transgender individuals often struggle with poor mental health due to societal constraints that prevent them from authentically expressing their identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/events\/breaking-barriers-recognising-transgender-voices\/calendar\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Add to calendar<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us on 23 April on Belval Campus for the International Transgender Day of Visibility.
