Trans Life Matter Barcelona

 Transgender Rights 

(Trans Life Matter Barcelona)

Dozens of people marched in Barcelona on Sunday to support transgender rights. They also remembered Sara Millerey, a transgender woman from Colombia who was murdered. About 500 people joined the protest, which started at Plaça Universitat  through La Rambla Raval and moved toward Plaça Catalunya. The protest was organized by a group called Furia Travesti.

Sara Millerey was found badly hurt in a river in Medellín, Colombia, in early April. Her arms and legs were broken. She was still alive when found, but sadly, she died in the hospital.

At the protest, people shouted that they were not just asking for rights—they were demanding them. They also said that many trans people are missing or have been lost, and that only a few remain.The protestors called for an end to conversion therapies, which try to change a person’s gender identity. They also said that people living in unsafe or unfair situations need support.“We do not want what the system gives us,” they said. “We declare war on the cis-system and everything it stands for.”

•  They also honored the memory of Sara Millerey, a transgender woman from Colombia who was murdered in a violent and painful way.

• They wanted to raise awareness about the violence and unfair treatment faced by transgender people. They said they are tired of asking for basic rights and instead are now demanding justice and change.

• A group called Furia Travesti, which supports transgender and non-binary people, led the protest. 

• 1. End conversion therapy – These are harmful practices that try to change someone’s gender identity.

  2. Support for vulnerable people – Many transgender people live in unsafe or unstable conditions and need legal and social protection.

  3. System change – They criticized the "cis-system," which is a term used to describe a society built around cisgender people (those whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth). They believe this system often ignores or harms trans people.

• "Declare war on the cis-system" mean
  This is a strong way of saying they reject how society treats transgender people and are ready to fight for justice, equality, and survival.
