Trans Day of Remembrance 2011: Again Alarming Figures

Transgender Europe’s Trans Murder Monitoring project reveals 221 killings of trans people in the last 12 months.

Trans Murder Monitoring launches an interactive map for IDAHOT 2011. The new interactive map for the first time visualises a great portion of the 604 reported murders of trans people that the TMM has documented since January 2008.

Sadly, this year there are more than 160 trans persons to be added to the list, to be remembered, mourned and honoured as an update of the preliminary results of Transgender Europe’s new research project reveals.

The preliminary results of our trans murder monitoring show 539 reports of murdered trans people in 42 countries since January 2008.

Zwischen dem 20. November 2008 und dem 12. November 2009 wurden 162 Morde an Trans-Personen berichtet.

Entre el 20 de noviembre de 2008 y el 12 de noviembre de 2009, se registraron 162 casos de personas trans asesinadas. En los primeros 10 meses de 2009, se constataron ya 150 asesinatos.

There have been 162 murders of trans people reported from November 20th 2008 to November 12th 2009. In the first 11 1/2 months of 2009 already 150 murders of trans people have been reported.

Desgraciadamente, este año tenemos que recordar, echar de menos y honrar a más de 160 personas trans, como muestra la última actualización de los resultados preliminares del nuevo proyecto de investigación de Transgender Europe.

Traurigerweise, müssen dieses Jahr mehr als 160 Menschen zur Liste jener, die erinnert, betrauert und geehrt werden, hinzugefügt werden, wie eine Aktualisierung der vorläufigen Ergebnisse von Transgender Europes neuem Forschungsprojekt, dem „Trans Murder Monitoring“-Projekt, offenbart.
