New Trans Murder Monitoring Report for IDAHOT

TGEU’s Transrespect versus Transphobia (TVT) will publish a new Trans Murder Monitoring IDAHOT report two weeks before May 17 to enable NGOs, institutions and the media to use our data in their actions and publications.

The Trans Murder Monitoring (TMM) project systematically monitors, collects and analyses reports of homicides of trans people worldwide and therefore provides essential information in advocating for the Rights of and the Freedom from Violence for Transgender People.
The Trans Murder Monitoring project started in April 2009 as a cooperation between Transgender Europe (TGEU) and the academic online magazine Liminalis – A Journal for Sex/Gender Emancipation and Resistance. With the involvement of the editorial team of Liminalis, the TMM became a pilot project of Transgender Europe’s “Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide” research project in September 2009.

TGEU was established on the first European Transgender Council in Vienna in November 2005 and formally registered as an Austrian charitable organisation 14 months later. Run as a volunteer organisation for many years TGEU established itself as legitimate voice of the trans community in Europe.
