Trans people have been gunned down, stabbed and even hanged with their own clothing, according to a new report.

It highlights the 325 trans, non-binary and gender-variant people, at least, who were murdered in the 12 months from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017.

42 of the trans murder victims were reported to be 21 years old or younger, with some as young as 15.

The Transgender Murder Monitoring Project has released this update in time for Transgender Day of Remembrance today (20 November).

Brazil still has the most reported trans murders in the world

Brazil (171 murders) and Mexico (56), once again, lead the list of the most reported killings of trans women and men.

The USA has seen 25, an increase from last year when 24 trans people were killed.

But these horrifying numbers are just the tip of the iceberg.

Media organizations – including normally reputable names – are often guilty of misgendering the victims when they are trans, making it even more difficult to get a real sense of the problem.

And there are multiple countries, many in Africa, where we have little knowledge of the violence happening against trans people. The highest numbers have been found in countries with strong trans movements that carry out professional monitoring.

The full detailed list makes for difficult reading, with the vast majority of the deaths being trans women of color.

These are just a few of their names and faces.
