"There are now more transgender homicide victims in 2015 than in any other year that advocates have recorded. At least 21 people - nearly all of them transgender women of color - have lost their lives to violence," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "This kind of violence is often motivated by anti-transgender bias; but that is rarely the only factor. At a time when transgender people are finally gaining visibility and activists are forcing our country to confront systemic violence against people of color, transgender women of color are facing an epidemic of violence that occurs at the intersections of racism, sexism and transphobia - issues that advocates can no longer afford to address separately."
