In 2007, NCTE is highlighting the human rights needs of
transgender people. Each month, we'll look at a fundamental
issue that relates to our lives; in some places, we are making
significant progress in human rights for transgender people,
while in other areas, there is still much work to be done. Each
calendar can be printed out and hung on your wall to help people
learn about human rights for transgender people and to show your
support for transgender equality. Download this month's calendar
today! The opportunity to work is a fundamental aspect of human
rights. By working, people sustain themselves and their loved
ones. We can gain dignity and self-worth through our employment,
and our work can even contribute to the wellbeing of the larger
world. People have the right to work in safe and fair conditions
and for equal pay. Transgender people continue to face extensive
discrimination in employment, often being unable to find work in
our fields of expertise or losing jobs due to prejudice.
