Tell the authorities something about yourself to make this a personal letter
Tell them what shocks you about the case of Yren Rotela and Mariana Sepúlveda
Tell them why you think it is important that governments respect the rights of transgender people
Tell them to legally recognise the identities of transgender people so that they can exercise their right to freedom of expression, association and protest under their self-perceived identities
Subject:
Legally recognise the identity of trans people so they can exercise their rights
Your Excellency, I call on you to guarantee all means to legally recognise the identities of Yren Rotela and Mariana Sepúlveda, two transgender women. Denying them the right to legally change their names and obtain identity documents matching their gender identity is discriminatory. It impacts their ability to gain equal education, employment, housing, healthcare, and further exposes them to violence, harassment and stigma. In Paraguay, trans activists are silenced and their protests are often banned or attacked. I call on you to guarantee legal frameworks to end this discriminatory practice. Without legal gender recognition, a transgender person’s ability to live in dignity, equality and security, and with the rights and protections afforded to other members of society, is severely compromised.
