Violence is a plague in the lives of many transgender and gender non conforming (TGNC) people with hate motivated beatings and murders very often involving extra cruelty. According to the national coalition of anti violence programs, 72% of reported hate murders against LGBT people and people living with HIV in 2013 were committed against transgender women with 67% against trans women of color. This terror by example creates the kind of fear that sends people underground, away from community services and support.
