31 March is International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV), a day dedicated to raising visibility and awareness of trans and non-binary people worldwide. TDoV began in 2009 as an opportunity to celebrate and uplift Trans voices on an international scale. It is now celebrated by people across the world.
Women’s History Month started as just a week-long celebration in the 1980s. It has since evolved into a month-long celebration, including International Women's Day on 8 March, that champions women’s rights as well as the achievements of women throughout history. This year's Women’s History Month, staff at the EGI are reviewing their favourite books by and about women.
March is Women's History Month and a time to highlight and reflect on how women have historically been discriminated against and overlooked both in their daily lives, in the historical record and for their contributions across society. It is a time to re-evaluate and challenge how the past has been presented and to celebrate the achievements of women, past and present.
The University ran a community art project at Lincoln Pride in 2023, inviting members of the public to express what pride means to them. These artworks will be exhibited throughout the month and beyond to generate conversations about the importance of PRIDE.
February is LGBT+ History Month. The 2024 theme celebrates LGBT+ peoples’ contribution to the field of Medicine and Healthcare both historically and today.
