Trans woman, 22, kills herself after being sacked by Putin's lawsJoe Morgan, October 21, 2013
A young transgender Russian woman has committed suicide after being sacked by Putin's anti-gay laws.
Dasha Shtern, a 22-year-old, killed herself after she had lost her job and was made homeless by her own parents.
Before last week, Shtern was working for the Yekaterinburg government in Sverdlovsk, central Russia, and was living with friends.
She had just been given a mortgage so she could buy her own apartment, had bought a car and was ready to go travelling.
