Who killed Kenisha.
2018 June 19
News article (in Spanish), describing the murder of Kenisha, its aftermath and how the government dealt with it. It narrates how the government never recognized her identity, and misgendered her in all official reports. Reflects on how the lack of public policy and apathy are two of the main causes why transwomen’s life expectancy on the region is 35 years.
The article includes audio and video. In the audio (in Spanish), her mother describes how she “asked ‘him’ to change ‘his’ life with the power of the Bible.”
