10 anos sem Gisberta, o que mudou
A 22 de Fevereiro de 2006 o país acordou com a notícia da morte de Gisberta Salce Junior, encontrada assassinada num poço depois de três dias de tortura. O crime de ódio alertou a sociedade que fingia ignorar a fragilidade das vidas de tantas pessoas trans, a quem era negado o direito à identidade, ao acesso ao trabalho e a cuidados de saúde, expondo-as à violência gratuita. 10 anos passaram, o que mudou entretanto? Dossier organizado por Joana Campos.
Sobre este(s) artigos, nomeadamente no referente à cronologia, foi questionado o apagamento da ªt e do GTP da dita cronologia em comentário, até agora sem resposta. Até ver, Joana Campos, ou deliberadamente ou por ignorância, apagou a existência da ªt e do Grupo Transexual Portugal
