The Movement for Homosexual Integration and Freedom (MOVILH), Chile's leading advocacy group for sexual minorities, issued a public alert this week, warning all transgender and transsexual people to stay clear of Region V.

"Because of the constant attacks against the transsexual and transgender population in the Region of Valparaíso - the most recent case involved a trans person named Grace Morales León (42), who was the victim of a shooting - MOVILH has decided to initiate an international campaign warning this sector of the population that (Region V) is extremely dangerous," the MOVILH alert reads.

In the last five years four transgender people have been murdered in the Region. The most recent victim was Moira Donaire González, 30, who on March 5 was stabbed to death in Viña del Mar (VT, March 28).  Seven months earlier, in neighboring Valparaíso, a transgender sex worker named Vivian Cuevas Henriquez, 30, was also murdered.
