RIO DE JANEIRO (IPS) - The state of Rio de Janeiro in southeast Brazil will introduce a pioneering policy in March to reduce the under-reporting of crimes against transvestites and transsexual people, who will be able to identify themselves with their preferred names when they report crimes to the police.
The right to use the names and pronouns chosen by transgender people, rather than the names on their official identity documents, is one that has been long sought after by their community.
