Violence against Trans Women

In 2009, United States data showed that transgender people are likely to experience a broad range of violence in the entirety of their lifetime. Violence against trans women in Puerto Rico started to make headlines after being treated as "An Invisible Problem" decades before. It was reported at the 58th Convention of the Puerto Rican Association that many transgender women face institutional, emotional, and structural obstacles. Most trans women don't have access to health care for STD prevention and are not educated on violence prevention, mental health, and social services that could benefit them.

Trans Women in the US have always been victim to the Anti-Trans Stigma. The Anti- Trans Stigma is the decriminalization, dehumanization, and violence against those who identify as transgender. From a societal stand point, a trans person can be victim to the stigma by encountering lack of family support, issues with proper health care and social services, police brutality, discrimination in the work place, cultural marginalization, poverty, sexual assault, assault, bullying, and mental trauma. With the help of advocates and supporters, the Human Rights Campaign tracked over 128 cases that ended in fatality against transgender people in the US from 2013-2018. Exactly 80% of anti transgender homicides included a trans women of color. High rates of Intimate Partner violence impacts trans women in the US differently because they're facing discrimination from police, health providers, and alienation from family. As of 2018, it has been reported 77 percent of transgender people who were linked to sex work and 72 percent of transgender people who were homeless are victims of intimate partner violence.
