The LGBTIQ+ community in Medellín is on alert after three men brutally assaulted a trans woman. The incident caused outrage among the public.

An inhabitant of the Prado Centro neighborhood captured on video the moment in which three men approached a trans woman and began to attack her with straps and chains in the middle of the street, without receiving help.

The video was broadcast through the social networks of the Trans Community Network organization, along with the message “How long do we trans people have to live in fear? This year 11 trans women have been murdered in Colombia.”

It has been determined that crimes against the trans community have a common denominator: the victims usually die with a knife and with marks of extreme cruelty. Those who survive attacks become victimized because of their sexual identity; Added to this, the cases in the Prosecutor's Office are stagnant. These data were released through Caribe Afirmativo, an NGO that watches over the rights of diverse communities.

1. Sadly, probably going to become reality here as well

The ugly, brutal consequences of hate and "othering" innocent people... Brought to there (and here) by small-minded, mean-spirited, vicious bigots who no doubt watch such deplorable attacks and think "That's exactly what Murka needs!"
