The report released by the Human Rights Campaign this week found 85% of transgender and gender-nonconforming victims of fatal violence since 2013 have been people of color. Black transgender women represented 63% of all victims. It also found most victims – 77% – were younger than 35, and over four in five victims were transgender women. The authors behind the report say the 32 victims reported is likely an undercount because of unreported deaths, misgendering and some victims not being identified as transgender or gendernon-conforming after their deaths. Multiple factors contribute to fatal violence against trans and gender-nonconforming people in the U.S., including anti-trans stigma, hostile anti-LGBTQ political rhetoric and legislation and systemic discrimination, according to the HRC report. The report's release comes during Transgender Awareness Week, which raises the visibility of the transgender and gender non-conforming community and the issues they face.
