The advocacy group Camfaids (the Cameroonian Foundation for AIDS) today reported a new attack against a trans woman in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
This is a translation of today’s Camfaids report:A trans woman was attacked in Yaoundé, Cameroon, at the location known as Avenue Germaine Crossroads on Monday, Jan. 19, 2015, at around 4 a.m. by a group of 15 people armed with stones and clubs.
The head of the legal team of Camfaids met with the victim, who is named Dolores (legal name Jonas Singa Kimie).
Waiting for a taxi at the Avenue Germaine Crossroads, I was challenged by a young man of about 30 years.
This is another very unfortunate demonstration of the type of violence that is perpetrated against LGBTI people in Cameroon.
