Como surgió el espacio de alfabetización para mujeres travesti
La idea del espacio de Alfabetización surgió en 2008 mientras íbamos confeccionando el proyecto de lo que luego sería Crisálida. Muchas trans abandonaron la escuela a muy temprana edad. En ese momento, iniciamos los contactos con el programa de alfabetización y nos pedían una serie de requisitos que en ese momento, como organización emergente, que no teníamos. Dos años después, volvimos sobre el tema al ver que muchas trans que se acercaban a Crisálida JUS evidenciaban no saber ni leer o escribir, o bien tener dificultades para hacerlo.
