Sara Millerey, a 32-year-old trans woman, was brutally murdered in Colombia, igniting outrage and calls for justice. President Gustavo Petro has urged authorities to investigate her death, which was captured in a tragic video that went viral. Sara's mother, Sandra, recalls her daughter's love for beauty and life, contrasting sharply with the shocking circumstances of her death. With this murder, Sara became the third LGBTQ+ victim in Bello this year, a grim statistic that reflects the ongoing violence and fear faced by the community. Protests and events are being organized to denounce transphobia in the wake of this tragedy.
"If she could, she would erase the images of her 32-year-old daughter in a 28-second video in which she appears flailing and gasping for breath in a dirty creek, unable to swim due to her fractured legs, arms and hands."
"Sara's is the third murder this year against LGBTQ+ individuals in the town; the first two victims were gay men. There was tremendous cruelty in Sara's case, he says."
