Violence is

This is a manner to join with the activist around November 25, International Day of No Violence Against Women. We felt very pleased for this poster of Thursday Group and we ask authorities and all governments institutions, as well as human rights organization, to recognize that violence against women has an extension in violence against transvestite and trans women. This is a call for respect and reject violence and death.

Poster said: Violence is can’t be able to get out your house without the fair to be prisoner, don’t call for your own name, be mock in the radio, in the newspapers and television, don’t have any other work than prostitution, be point out for the fear of infection, don’t receive appropriated medical attention, be treat with masculine names, don’t be listen, be expel of school and family, be illegal in any country and place, be follow, hit, torture and murdered, be force to lived and died in the edge, survive, be forgotten. Violence against transvestite and trans women is gender violence. Don’t forgot.

In this year of publications we had reported many murders and attempt against trans people hat were not resolve in different parts of the world. Recently in Cali had been become worst annoyance against trans that work in street. This is the main problem that trans population had to confront, the impossibility of had opportunities to study and to work that force them to street, to prostitution. This is an example of the prejudice that is limited development of this human beings. Violence is part of everyday of this people, women that want live in peace and harmony. Unfortunately, violence continue charge victims, as happen recently in Honduras, Chile and Argentina.

The intolerance list of violence is a manner to remember this crimes and a petition to fight against this death. We can’t find a consensus for a day against violence because agenda in different countries had their particularities but that don’t mean we could organize in our own countries. Until we had the straight to conquered a world action with the same topics in all over the world for the rights of transsexuals, transvestites, transgender and intersex.
