The EveryWoman Project by the Stairlings Collective is a celebration of trans women and non-binary femme folk in Ireland. It’s a project designed by young trans women to create a positive representation of trans people, to inspire confidence in others and to develop relationships with other members of their community. It’s an opportunity to say thank you for the community spirit which these women do so much to sustain and to recognise the need for positive representation which helps to make life tolerable, happy and fulfilled for the younger generation who are growing up in Ireland today.
The women that are being celebrated in this event are representative of a community of women who have faced exclusion from Irish society but it is our belief that these women act as a beacon of hope for others who may be struggling. We wish to recognise each individual for their contribution to this project and for standing up in solidarity with trans women and non-binary femme folk who have not yet found their feet.
