Trans wounded with a rubber-shot gun in the Neapolitan area

“Last night the umpteenth aggression against a transsexual woman, Sara Lopez, a trans woman known to the social media public, but unfortunately ended up in the crosshairs of one of the many babygangs in the area, took place”. The Pride Vesuvius Rainbow association writes it on its web page, denouncing the attack of a transgender woman that took place this night in Pompeii. “Sara tells and denounces from her social pages, that near Pompeii she would have been hit repeatedly, by boys probably teenagers, with a rubber-shot gun. Sara would have suffered injuries, evident from the social images, but above all she lived one night of fear and anguish. Sara Lopez has been forced to work as a sex worker for years, as well as many transsexual women who find it difficult to find a job to be able to live in dignity. Sara lives the dangers of the road every night. We strongly condemn the terrible aggression, we renew all our solidarity and closeness to Sara and to all the transgender women who every night are forced to live the road between fear and violence. We look forward to the immediate intervention of the State to identify those responsible for this aggression. We are worried about a possible escalation of violence against the most fragile and the most exposed to hatred and intolerance “writes the association iation Pride Vesuvius Rainbow. “Sara has achieved a strong popularity on social networks, through which she has never hidden her condition, conquering the hearts of many people who on several occasions have supported her in moments of greatest difficulty, yet among all her followers (18.5 thousand followers on Instagram and 29.5 thousand followers on TikTok) no one has ever offered her a job. What happened to Sara tonight should make us reflect more: transsexual women have great difficulty in entering work in a society that prefers them as phenomena and does not recognize their dignity as persons. We ask local and national institutions to activate more and more policies aimed at creating more and real job opportunities for transgender people “, concludes the association.
