Historic sentence: Life imprisonment for hate crime against Diana Sacayán's killer

Uncategorized

The Oral Criminal and Correctional Court No. 4 of the City of Buenos Aires unanimously sentenced Gabriel David Marino to life imprisonment for the murder of transgender human rights activist Amancay Diana Sacayán. In its verdict, the court determined that it was a hate crime motivated by gender-based violence (aggravating circumstances 4 and 11 of the Penal Code). This is an unprecedented and historic ruling. This trial marked the first time the term "transvesticide" was used in court records.

VIDEO #LegalAbortion for pregnant people: "My name is Tom, I'm a trans guy and I had an abortion"

“My name is Tom. I’m a trans guy. I had an abortion several years ago. It was at an illegal clinic in Rosario.” This is how the spot for the series “We Are Stories. Our lives, our health, our decisions matter” begins. It was produced by Mujeres Audiovisuales (Women in Audiovisual Media), Trabajadoras Independientes del Campo Audiovisual (Independent Workers in the Audiovisual Field), and Actrices Argentinas (Argentine Actresses) to support the bill of the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion and to demand legal abortion for pregnant people.

Manifesto for legal abortion: We trans people know about clandestine abortion.

We, transvestites and trans people, know very well what it means to decide about our own bodies. We did so for many years in secret, and that cost us (and still costs us) nothing less than our lives. That's why trans women are fighting for legal abortion, and we are in the streets, and we will be at the vigil in front of Congress for the vote in the Chamber of Deputies on June 13th. And that's why we also hope to see everyone on June 28th at 6 PM in Plaza de Maya for the National March against transvesticide and transfemicide.
