Paramilitaries in Colombia are killing transgender women in a campaign of 'social cleansing,' with more than 40 killed last year, and an additional eight between February and April this year.
Transgender women in Colombia are facing threats and violence from armed groups aiming to create a 'parallel state' by targeting those considered detrimental to society, such as the LGBTQ+ community.
Flyers warning of 'social cleansing' of 'fa***ts, lesbians, and other individuals seen as damaging to society' have circulated in Caquetá, with transgender women like Tatiana Cespedes being threatened at gunpoint to leave town or face death.
