Mexico currently has the world’s second highest toll after Brazil for the killings of transgender people.
MEXICO CITY — Mexican transgender rights activists Kenya Cuevas and Andrea Luna sat in front of their longtime friend Paola Buenrostro’s pink grave in Mexico City.
Built in Iztapalapa, the most populous borough of Mexico’s capital, the burial site is the first one of its kind in the country. In some cases, no relatives claimed their bodies. Some died of natural causes, while others suffered violent deaths. Cuevas wanted them all to have a dignified resting place.
From 2017 to July 2023, at least 586 murders of LGBTQ people were recorded by the group. More than 58% were transgender women.
