Participants of the group Trans Bantu Zambia (TBZ) organised in critical response to this year’s global May 17 mobilisations, spotlighting the brutal effects of everyday transphobia. The group Friends of RAINKA appealed to government, church and public to halt hate speech against LGBTI people. Amnesty International used the Day to give a special emphasis to recent human rights abuse cases in the country.
Members of the group created a video in the lead up to the Day, published on April 20.
