Chapter 4
MEXICO. “I walked and walked, day and night.
I was terrified. The journey was not safe, but
at least I was not alone. Discrimination here is
not as bad as in Honduras. People seem more
open-minded, and people from my community
have given me support." When your own
identity puts you at risk, the stark choice is to
leave or die. This was the decision Estefania*,
a transgender woman, made. Staying in
Honduras meant either to deny her identity or
face harassment, violence or worse.
