The wave of attacks against trans women is increasing in Greater Asunción

Trans activist Yren Rotela reported that on Friday, October 27, four men in a white car fired an air rifle at a group of women who, excluded from the job market because of their gender identity, survive by working as sex workers in the town of San Lorenzo, in Greater Asunción. The incident occurred two weeks after the murder of Romina Vargas Florentín, a 28-year-old sex worker who was stabbed to death in the street in the same area.
