Shelter, health and dignity for Noemí: the court ruled in favor of a trans woman

Noemí Echaniz lived on the streets for several years. She was on the verge of becoming homeless again when the Buenos Aires City government cut off her housing subsidy. At 41 years old and with a health problem, this trans woman filed a lawsuit. The judge ordered the city government to provide her with “housing that guarantees her constitutional rights to housing, health, and dignity.”
