Había estado observando a este muchacho durante algún tiempo, en los pasillos del Campus. Para ella era lógico que algo le estaba sucediendo, dentro de su área de expertise, aunque fuese imperceptible para que el joven lo notase por su propia cuenta. Por lo mismo, en cuanto le vio solo, no dudo en actuar.

----Tu, ven a mi despacho, ahora --No era del tipo de maestra antipática, pero si trató de poner un tono de voz firme, para que no dudasen de ella. Se cruzó suavemente de brazos, tomándose los codos, enfrentando al muchacho-- Dime ¿Hay algo que te esté preocupando? ¿Te has notado raro estos días? // @dicnysxs​

excerpt from the linked article by: The Broad Committee for the Search for Equity (CABE in Spanish):

“We demand that the Police and the government respond to this crisis of violence against LGBTQ people immediately and urgently. It is your duty to report the status of investigations and conduct them in accordance with established protocols for hate crimes, the correct treatment of trans and LGBTQ people and in accordance with the reform of the Police. They are killing us and the government is looking the other way. This epidemic of anti-LGBTQ violence is as important as the emergency that we are all experiencing right now”, said Pedro Julio Serrano, a CABE spokesman.

On Monday, April 27, CABE sent a letter to the Secretary of Public Security, Pedro Janer, and to the Commissioner of the Police Bureau, Henry Escalera, demanding an immediate and urgent meeting with Janer and Escalera in order to demand answers on the status of the investigations, the plan for surveillance and prevention of these crimes, as well as a guarantee that the processes will be carried out in accordance with the protocols and free of prejudice.

“The violence we are experiencing has its roots in the hateful rhetoric and actions by fundamentalist politicians and religious leaders who incite violence, who persecute, demonize and attack LGBTQ people. Enough of using us as scapegoats for your divisive agendas. We are as human beings as the rest of society and we deserve the same respect, the same freedom and the same equity”, said Carmen Milagros Vélez Vega, a CABE spokesperson. 

Natasha Alor, a young trans activist, called for “creating a society in which respect for diversity is a value, not a weapon to attack the experiences of another human being. Our lives experience violence every second of the day. This is not only unfair, it is inhumane. As trans people we demand respect for our lives and the guarantee that justice will be done so that these crimes do not go unpunished and do not happen again”. 

Lastly, Justin Jesus Santiago, a CABE ally, emphasized that “it is time for this government to demonstrate that it is going to fulfill its duty to protect trans people and LGBTQ people. We recognize the Coronavirus emergency, but there is also the emergency of homophobic and transphobic violence that is killing us. It is time to act. Not one more LGBTQ person can die because of hatred.”

Viernes de #followfriday compartimos fotografías de nuestres seguidores. Usa el hashtag #everydaymujeres @maria.faciolince #TierraLenca - Doña Gabina, madre y abuela, frente a la puerta de su casa tallada y pintada por su hijo. Ella trabaja como profesora de cocina en un colegio de La Esperanza y es una maestra de costura. Desde que llegué a su casa me trató como hija propia. En su casa siempre había comida y un puesto en la mesa para quien llegara a saludar, también cama para quien necesitara. Para mucha gente es mujer ejemplar y líder en su comunidad. Definitivamente es una de las mujeres más luchadoras y dignas que he tenido el honor de conocer. #ManosDeMujeres . . . . #everydaymujeres #portrait #retrato #woman #everydaylatinamerica #family #photostory #faces #portraitphotography #everydayeverywhere #lensculturestreets #documentaryphotographer #lensculture #bestoftheday #documentary #yourshotphotographer #photodocumentary #thestreetphotographyhub #fotografaslatam #fotografas_latam #womenstreetphotographers #antropologia #centralamerica #mujer (at Honduras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKE3lQ2nsXW/?igshid=1uc6qai72jdhu
