Remembering Our Dead

Victoria Strauss

Victoria's body was found in her home. She was a political scientist and human rights defender who served as a peace counselor from 2017 to 2019.

Hours after reporting her disappearance, the Sumapaz Foundation confirmed the discovery of the lifeless body of Victoria Strauss, a social leader recognized for her work defending the rights of the LGBTQ+ population .

According to preliminary information, the political scientist's body was found in the Santa Elena district of Medellín. For now, details of Strauss's death have not been established. She served as a peace counselor from 2017 to 2019.

The Sumapaz Foundation called for an investigation that would lead to justice in this case.

The news has generated various voices of condemnation, one of them from Corpades. The corporation stated: “Her death has shocked the community. A thorough investigation is required to clarify the facts and ensure justice. Strauss, a trans activist, was dedicated to defending human rights. The authorities must act swiftly.”
