SUMMARY:Pooja Gehi Presents "Transgender People Unite Against Hate and Viol
 ence\," a day-long institute at Creating Change
DESCRIPTION:SRLP's Pooja Gehi presents in a day-long institute: \n\nViolen
 ce against transgender people is a national crisis\, particularly against 
 transgender women of color. According ott he National Coalition of Anti-Vi
 olence Programs\, of the 25 documented anti-LGBTQ homicides in 2012\, 53.8
 % of victims were transgender women\, and 73.1% of all anti-LGBTQ homicide
  victims were people of color. In addition\, transgender people were 1.67 
 times as likely to experience threats and intimidation\, 3.32 times as lik
 ely to experience police violence\, and transgender people of color were 2
 .46 times as likely to experience physical violence by the police.\n\nThis
  institute will focus on various forms of violence that transgender people
  experience. People have a misconceptions that hate violence is only exper
 ienced by transgender people on the streets and in the workplace\, but tra
 nsgender people experience violence at the hands of loved ones\, parents\,
  in the home\, and from the police. We will look at the cycle and patterns
  of hate and violence that impact the trans community. We will explore the
  hate and violence that begins in the home\, at school\, medical facilitie
 s\, at work\, the streets\, and other places that we navigate. We will dis
 cuss methods and best practices currently being used around the country to
  curb and prevent this violence. We will then look at how we can engage an
 d work with partners to increase the awareness and work in this arena to b
 etter protect ourselves and build better programs. Finally\, we will explo
 re other possible new solutions.\n\nPooja will present with Kylar W. Broad
 us\, Esq (National Gay and Lesbian Task Force)\, Cecilia Chung (Health Com
 missioner\, City of San Francisco)\, Anand Kalra (Transgender Law Center)\
 , Mara Keisling (National Center for Transgender Equality)\, Parker T. Hur
