Observations

Casa Diversa, as they call it, is a community center for diversity. They are currently looking for a new home where they can feel safe, as they have been victims of violence by strangers on several occasions. In Paraguay, trans women are one of the most discriminated against and invisible populations, excluded from the state's statistics. To date, they are not granted the right to identity or access to trans employment quotas. The COVID-19 pandemic brought their vulnerable situation into sharp focus, and none of the public policies created have benefited them. Faced with this adversity, Casa Diversa began undertaking various tasks to foster self-management and dignified work created by and for them. They started making pet beds, therapeutic pillows, cleaning products, and selling natural remedies. They also provide space for trans women from the organization Escalando to create screen-printed products.
