More than 350 transgender and gender-diverse people have been killed in 2024, according to a 'sobering' report from the Trans Murder Monitoring project.
The data showed that 93% of the victims were Black trans people or trans people of colour, while 46% were transgender sex workers.
This rise is enabled by the lack of strong hate-crime legislation that protects gender identity and expression, and the manipulative disinformation resulting from the lack of accountability for social media.
TGEU claimed the report only offers a 'brief snapshot' of the actual situation because many cases go unreported or the victims were misgendered.
