Remembering Our Dead

Jennifer López (“Campanita”)

Jennifer was murdered during the night of the 20th of May on her own home in Ometepec, Guerrero state, Mexico. She was stabbed in the neck with a sharp object and would have died almost immediately.

Jennifer was known among her friends as Campanita and was a local transgender activist who was actively involved on the defence of the human rights of LGBTTTI people.

“Campanita was a peaceful soul who worked as a hair stylist and beauty therapist. We urge the authorities to clarify and solve this case. The death of Jennifer cannot be given impunity; stop homophobic and transphobic killings” declared Victoria Galarza, head of Centro de Capacitación.
