🧵 “In these repressive times, trans visibility is a double harm. On one hand, we are being invisibilised when it comes to basic needs and care. On the other, we are made visible targets for hate and repression, especially the most marginalised in our communities and trans activists who fight.

Today on #TransDayOfVisibility, we envision a world free from violence, stigma, and restrictive gender norms. Visibility fosters awareness, representation, and a sense of belonging in a society that too often seeks to erase us.

For trans & gender-diverse Ugandans, economic empowerment isn’t just about survival it’s about reclaiming dignity. The LILO Up program helps build financial resilience through entrepreneurship & skills development. This is the future we need.
