Desde que fuera testigo del asesinato de la travesti Dayana (29 de julio de 2000) a manos de un policía en la ciudad de Valencia, estado de Carabobo, Venezuela, la activista Yhajaira Marcano Bravo ha sido objeto de constante persecución policial. Entre otros incidentes, pasó tres años paralítica y tuvo que ser tratada en Cuba luego de que le dispararan; la casa precaria en la que se refugiaba fue demolida y ni siquiera sus desplazamientos internos a Barquisimeto y Caracas sirvieron para protegerla, ya que al continuar allí con su activismo contra la violencia policial, fue objeto de nuevas agresiones. En este momento, Yhajaira está en Buenos Aires, intentando movilizar a la opinión pública venezolana e internacional para que presionen al gobierno de su país y este le proporcione las garantías de protección necesarias para que ella pueda regresar.
