Globally One Trans Person is Murdered Every 21 hours with Brazil leading the way

Planet Transgender/Added by Eduarda Alice Santos on March 13, 2016.
"At the current rate, there will be at least 188 dead trans people in Brazil and 403 worldwide by year's end. If the world's population of 7 billion people were murdered at that same rate as the Brazilian trans people are there would be an additional half million people slaughtered this year.
As Eduarda and I were puting the finishing touches on this article she received an email from the Transgender Europe's (TGEU) Trans Murder Monitoring project (TMM) literally moments before publishing. According to the email there has been one trans person murdered every day in the first 70 days of 2016. So we asked our contributing statistician Ariel Minkus for help. Thank the stars, this woman she came through once again."

Hi Stephaniec, thank you for posting that.
The story is very factual but it loses the emotional connection to the people it's trying to reach a little more emfocise on emotion would make this a great story.
I will post this to my home site to night.
