About this Event

Join ParivarBayArea for our first social gathering in almost two years. We are excited to invite you to join us for being in the community with SouthAsian Queer Trans folx and allies.

ParivarBayArea is co-hosting this event with our strategic community partner, Sewa International- BayArea chapter. We are grateful for their generosity in offering us this space and continuing to stand with us in saving Indian Trans Hijra lives as part of our SITAL initiative.

We come together to celebrate the life of Devi Ashima, Parivar's Trans Elder. It will be three years since DeviMa left us with the biggest smile on her face. DeviMa's gender journey was one of resilience, courage, and empathy. She strived through the most difficult attrocities meted out to her for being a brown southasian trans elder. Her chosen family that greatly misses her will share memories and cherish Devi Ashima.

At ParivarBayArea, our undisputable commitment is to center Trans GenderNonConfirming Intersex Hijra folx and fight for their economic justice and healthcare equity. We are resolved to save trans lives and Devi's struggles to find employment and access medical treatment, eventually leading to her demise is a testament to existing transphobia that must be addressed. We will share more about our recent efforts in India during the second wave as part of this movement.

All COVID-19 guidelines to be followed. The gathering is an outdoor event within a gated space. Safe distancing and wearing a mask are kindly requested. Sanitizers and masks will be on-premise to give out. Chai, Coffee, Snacks(Samosas, Fruit, etc) will be served.

Please register to help us plan for a safe and welcoming event. Feel free to bring friends and family to the event.

This event is radically welcoming you into a trans and queer inclusive and centering space. Zero tolerance to Homophobia or Transphobia.
