Brazil had highest number of trans people murdered in 2025 - report

[IwantToRetire]

This often comes up on threads. So not sure if it is the most accurate but here is one report on the number of trans people murdered in 2025.

Brazil had the highest number of trans people murdered in 2024; however, this year, the country reported 34% less murders, down from 122.

Globally, there were 281 reports of murders of trans and gender-diverse people in 2025, 90% of the victims were trans women and 88% of trans people murdered last year were Black or Brown.

68% of murders of trans people took place in Latin America and the Caribbean. Europe saw five murders while the US reported 31, down from 2024’s figure of 41.

And i suspect a very high number of those were sex workers, which massively increases the risk. Each one a tragedy, but I suspect the sex work was the relevant factor.

And only five in the whole of Europe!

That's a lot of statistics on the murdered. Any statistics on who is doing the murdering?

As if I didn't know.

If you read the article you will see this is a fact, no need to speculate!

Worth reading in full for it to be useful.

So Trans Day of Remembrance is relevant to Corporate Britain and Teenagers in School, Colleges and Universities in exactly which way?

Indeed. Five murders in Europe - every single one a tragic loss for the families and friends of the victims, RIP - which would hardly justify one pan-European Trans Day of Remembrance, let alone individual national ones.

It's a perfect illustration of the phrase 'virtue signalling', isn't it?

edited to add: 80 transpeople murdered in Brazil - RIP every one of them, that number should be zero.
Population of Brazil? 213 million.

Brazil has about 40,000 murders per year and it seems a higher proportion of trans people in the population than most countries. 1 out of every 300-500 murders doesn't seem as high as I'd have thought if the numbers are right

38,772 murders in Brazil in 2024. Apparently it's slightly down in 2025.

So roughly 0.002 % of murders in Brazil are transwomen.

And zero in the uk.
Also their has never been a murder of a trans person in Scotland ever yet we are constantly told how they are the most vulnerable

These figures should give trans people, particularly in Europe, a lot of confidence that they are safe going about their lives, as safe as anyone else if not more so. That there's no epidemic of anti-trans violence.

Pretty sure its JK Rowling, right? She is literally killing trans people.

Yout forgetting all the Literal Violence ™️ from being told no and recognised as a man

Again from AI which seemed very reluctant to provide stats about murder of prostitutes in Brazil and only wanted to talk about trans. (Not that I think AI has a prejudice but it reflects what it finds post on the internet. ie all the TRAs posting lots and lots of posts about murder of trans prostitutes.

Anyhow, without being able to quite work this out:

Approx: 12.8% of femicides are sex workers

Between 3,700 and 3,900 female homices annually (approximately 1,400 of which are officially classified as femicides)

Well I cant make those sums add up.

@HoardasurassBrianna Ghey was murdered, spookily almost two years to this day

Clearly men. I don't see why it's any less heinous a crime when they kill another man as opposed to a woman.

That's because the first choice of the culprits wasn't available, and nothing whatsoever to do with identities.

Horrible as such a death was it doesn't help a cause to use false info to prop it up, and is disrespectful.

@IwantToRetirecan you elaborate? Who, in your opinion were the first choice of culprits?

my response was in answer to @Hoardasurassif you read below, this person is unaware of any trans murders in the uk. Suggest you question yourself about disrespecting the dead.

There were indeed zero trans murders in the U.K. in 2025, @IndigoBluey- BG was the year before. They are very rare. Most years there isn’t one. There have been about 3 or 4 in the last decade, IIRC. A murder victim in the U.K. was at one point (and may still be the case statistically) more likely to have been murdered by a “trans woman” than be one.

The first choice of culprit was a gay classmate of theirs. In fact they had a list, which BG wasn’t on until later.

regardless of the fact they did not murder their first intended victim, they did murder BG. like I said, 2 years almost to this day, it was 11 February 2023. Semantics really talking about 24 months difference but clutch on to what you will. A transgender was murdered, it is really very clear.

You can check the newspaper reports of the trial.

You made the false allegation, suggest you substantiate it.

In fact it is these desperate misrepresentation that are disrespectful, changing the words round to say someone trans gender was murdered is not the same as the those saying someone was murdered because they were transgender.

It is gross of you to drag this young person into a thread about an article reporting on recorded instances.

The only person undermined is you for being so crass, and in fact those who genuinely want to create actual facts to say that someone who was trans was murdered because they were trans.

Dont you understand just how undignified this is, and horribly exploitative of a murder victim.

What false allegation is that? @Ereshkigalangcleghas answered the question on first culprits. That does not alleviate the fact they went on to murder BG for being trans.

No one said there haven’t been any trans murders in the U.K ever, you failed to read the post properly. BG is irrelevant to a discussion of trans murders last year.

And of course it isn’t “semantics” that there are very rarely trans murders in the U.K.
