The Murder That Led To Mexico’s First Trans Led Shelter | Transnational
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2022
- When COVID hit Mexico City, many trans women surviving on sex work were left with no work and no home. Some found sanctuary at Casa Hogar Paola Buenrostro, the country’s first shelter built for, and run by, former trans sex workers. In this episode of Transnational, Vice News correspondent Alyza Enriquez traveled to Mexico City to meet the shelter’s founder, and learn about the killing that led her to start the home in one of the world’s deadliest places for trans people.
This film originally aired on VICE News in 2021.

The fact that she took that pain and turned it into a shelter to help others speaks volumes! What a wonderful way to use your pain and anger. My heart (& praise) goes out to her and to all the other gay and trans out there who suffer untold horror's and all because we live in this culture that fears anything that is different.
Kenya is such an amazing woman, she’s helped many trans women out there, I hope that she can continue with this huge work and legacy.
I am from Mexico and I know Kenya Cuevas, she is honestly the bravest more corageous woman I have ever met, she has now found the mna who mourdered her friend Paola and is now in the process of going after him legally, she has been in movies and everything now! She has come so far, I love this woman!
Do you think he will be prosecuted?
@@spinrash6000 no, highly doubt it, Kenya Cuevas uploaded the video from her cellphone to her Instagram account, and they just won’t do anything at all. They could have by now, but no.
Yea she has 🏀’s that’s for sure!
There is a youtube chanel named El otro lado del rosa/ The other side of pink. The host interviews Kenia Cuevas which the creator and now director of this shelters. She talks about her whole life. She only learned to read and write four years ago. I cried listening to her lifestory nd just thinking about all the hardships, rapes, violence etc. That she had to go through. But God has his plans for her. Kenia Cuevas is now the voice and mother of all this transwomen that have been abandoned by society. God bless her heart.
That's how I learned about her. I don't listen to that podcast but it started playing on auto play after another show i was listening to while I was cleaning. I had my headphones and couldn't find my phone so I was kind of forced to not change it, but omg after like 10 minutes I couldn't even consider changing it. It's super long but an amazing story. She is such an inspiration.
The name is the podcast is actually "Más Allá del Rosa" or "Beyond the Pink" in English.
Is there a place that Vice publishes information on how to help the people featured in their videos? Like a way to contribute or donate?
I was looking for information about this too. I go to TJ often so I wonder if there's a place in TJ where I can go donate
In this case you can find another youtube video at El otro lado del rosa where Kenya left her number , she replies the calls and messages often
Más allá del rosa - Kenya Cuevas, you can find information and contact about her in that video.
So powerful and meaningful. I feel stronger as a trans, Mexican woman after watching this.
Me encanto el documental muy bonito vamos hermanas 🏳️⚧️ ❤
Everyone deserves love and compassion
❤️💪🏾 the love she has after everything that has happened to her from such a young age is amazing !! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 I pray to be as strong and loving 🛐 I wish all a better life and so much true love 💕
Amen to that.
I'm here for the movement! We are all equal!
No. They’re not human.

I love Kenia she is strong, fearless and humble.
*Wow! So amazing all the job in "Casa de las muñecas tiresias" thanks mama kenya for the support to the Girls!* 🙌👏
This is so powerful, im really proud of Kenya, she has been a fighter her whole life, thx you for sharing
I just learned about this amazing woman I'm impressed on how strong she is.
Buen reportaje!
Love this video. So much compassion. ♥️
Muchas gracias Kenya Cuevas por todo, eres una gran Mujer 🤗🤍✊🏼.
Ojalá el mundo cambie, tod@s somos herman@s de la misma Madre.
Muy buen trabajo de investigación.
YO TENGO UNA CASA EN DELICIAS CHIHUAHUA LE DOY MANTWMIMIENTO PERO ESTA SOLA, ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DAR INFORMACIÓN DE COMO PODERLA HACER UN HOGAR PARA ALLUDA A PERSONAS CON E SITUACIÓN SIMILAR?
We trans people have it bad already in the US I can’t even trying to make it in Mexico . I don’t understand why there has to still be a stigma being trans and for men that choose to date a trans person. Just live and let people live ..why is that so difficult to do..there should be more exposure on the trans community as a positive thing instead of the usual stigma ..we have made huge steps moving forward with race (yes there’s still racism unfortunately) why can’t we do the same with the Lgbtq community?! Because we can’t move forward many are forced to sex work and turn to drugs . I’m thankful I have broken that and I’m self employed live well but it didn’t come easy . Men are harder on transwomen because they are afraid of the attraction they have and what people will think not realizing that there are many many many more that are thinking the same . It just comes down to education and being open to listening. Quit being so bitter judging people you’ll live a more meaningful life ..js
Live the way u wanna live as long u don't influence other people 💯
@@ghostalk2em159 influence? Can you please be specific. In my mind, all humans influence those around them.
Because people aren't animals. Animals can't be evil.
Congratulations on a better road to success. I’m a strong advocate for gay lesbian however this recent bull dragging kids as young as 3 to a stripper gay bat and questioning kids about their gender is enough already
Brave woman and I’m in awe of the many gorgeous ladies on here. So beautiful with gentle souls💐
Hay que seguir construyendo este tejido social. Kenya es un ejemplo a seguir chicas. Muy buen docu! ❤
God love them I live in Dublin Ireland I thought my life was hard 😮I relied how gud I have it here my heart bleeds for these men n women plz keep helping these women x ❤🙏🇮🇪
I'd be willing to act as a security guard against transphobes if I had the time and language ability.
She’s an angel on earth. We need so many more Mama Kenya’s!
Kenia cuevas es la reina de mexico.
Everyone deserve love and Respet 🙏❤️
Como duele veer como va mi pais....
One love. 🌎🌍🌏✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🖤☯️☮️
Kenia tiene un corazón generoso
as a gay man in the us, i can’t imagine the pain these individuals go thru. i’m sorry that this happens, and i hope this unnecessary violence toward us lgbtq+ will end someday. it has to ❤️🏳️🌈
Fr i mean i can kinda relate but no to the extent these beautiful women do
You don’t have to be gay to know this is cruel. Thinking of my hiv and aids patients.
Kenya bella un gran ser humano! Dios la bendiga ❤
Maravilhosas!
Muy buen reportaje, deberíamos de darle más difusión.
I love seeing the schooling and just safe haven in the shelter. Every person should have a place they can go and be who they are free from bullying and judgements. Even better people who have the same experiences as you.
Kenya, te amamos!!!
GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS 😇
Excelent video
Yo fui parte de la casa hogar munecas tiresias .
I perteneced there place,
Kenia putting that footwork in i don't agree with the lifestyle but nobody deserves to die period and I'm sure your friend is si proud ❤
Most people just need a chance. Don’t think you are better than someone because you were blessed with better circumstances. All Kenya and Rebecca needed was a change and they got it. Got a chance to make a change and feel good and worth something. I will never understand why the world is so evil to these beautiful people. How dull wld life be without the LGBTQ community?
Espero pronto ir a Casa Hogar Muñecas Tiresias para brindar mi granito de arena 🫶🏻
♥♥♥♥
Hubieran subtitulado, el de UA-cam no es nada bueno
this guy has more balls than most men out there
There should be Safe Houses for trans people in every place since there's people out there that like to hurt people, keep 'em safe from the serial killers.
PEOPLE THESE ARE MMEENN!!!!! HELLO
Hi❤❤❤❤❤
The likes on this video "666" 💀😂

Fake and lame.
R I P to Paula she was 15 a kid this world is sick because someone doesn't like you or hate you you got to defend yourself
Good documentary but thoses are and will always be men dressed in women's clothing. Its that simple.
No 👍🏼
Hopefully this spreads to Africa.
They got real issues to worry about
They were Catholics in Mexico
God made woman and man nothing in between it's an abomination in the sight of God to be gay in any shape form or fashion they cannot enter into the kingdom of God because God said be holy 🙏💯
They're not Mexican their homosexuals please learn the difference
And let me guess, you are a homophobe? Ignorance at its finest. Kenya has done more for Mexico than you will ever even consider doing in your miserable life.
Stupid comment.
Ah yes, the two nationalities, mexicans and... homosexuals from the land of Homosexual, brilliant.
Ah yes, the two nationalities, the mexicans and the gays, brilliant.
El mundo te escucha kenya...
Listen by the Time you transition you should be well aware and ready to deal with the conséquences.
Imagine thinking that being born a certain way makes you guilty of your own murder. Can't relate.
Narrative of Self is the result of a feedback loop between “Separate Self” & Cosmos🔴🟥
