Alejandra Monocuco

Alejandra Monocuco was a transgender woman whose tragic death five years ago highlighted systemic discrimination faced by the transgender community in Colombia. Her passing occurred after paramedics refused to assist her due to her identity and health status, reflecting a broader issue of indifference towards the lives of transgender individuals. Her case has since been symbolically used in initiatives aimed at addressing such discrimination, yet it underscores ongoing societal challenges and the urgent need for systemic change.
