Tortura <br><br>
El video está en You Tube. Está, podría decirse, a la vista de todos. La presentadora de Edición Central, un programa de noticias peruano, introduce una filmación tomada en la ciudad de Taratopo. Hombres pertenecientes a las juntas vecinales detuvieron, raparon, desnudaron y golpearon en una de sus rondas nocturnas, a dos hombres que se disponían a mantener o mantenían relaciones sexuales en la vía pública. Las imágenes, sin embargo, desmienten rápidamente a las palabras. La voz femenina que relata la noticia especifica: uno de los hombres era un travesti. Intentó escapar, pero tras una cuadra de persecución la detuvieron de nuevo. Ante la cámara apuntándole a la cara, su acompañante ?joven, moreno, desdentado- dice que sí, que ya pagó. Cinco soles. Un dólar con cincuenta centavos. La travesti ?su nombre es Techi- y su cliente fueron conducid*s hasta Señor de los Milagros, uno de los asentamientos base de las juntas vecinales. L*s raparon. Luego, a golpes, fueron obligad*s a desnudarse y realizar ejercicios físicos hasta caer rendid*s de cansancio. <br><br>
The video is on You Tube. It is, one could say, there for all to see. The newscaster of Central Edition, a Peruvian news program, introduces a film taken in the city of Taratopo. Men who belong to a neighborhood watch group, while on one of their nightly rounds, stopped, shaved, undressed and beat two men who were getting ready to have or had sexual relations on a public thoroughfare. The images, however, quickly contradict the words. The feminine voice tells the specifics: one of the men was a transvestite. She tried to escape, but after being chased for a block, they stopped her again. In front of the camera, pointing at his face, her companion, young, brown skin, toothless - says that yes, that he paid. Five Peruvian soles,$1.50. The transvestite whose name is Techi, and her client, were taken to Señor de los Milatros, one of the home bases of the neighborhood watch groups. They robbed her. Then, with blows, they felt obliged to undress her, forced her to do physical exercises until she fell, overcome by exhaustion.

The Rape of Slave Boys in Sudan - Contemporary Review By Maria Sliwa - 06/30/04 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Majok, then 12, tightly hugged his long, bony legs, as we sat on the parched termite-infested earth. His ragged black shorts and ripped oversized T-shirt hung loosely on his spindly, dust-covered body. A continuous flow of tears poured down his adolescent face, as he spoke of the way he was repeatedly raped and sodomized by gangs of government soldiers.<BR><BR> 'They raped me', Majok cried. 'And when I tried to refuse, they beat me'. <BR><BR> After taking care of his master's cattle all day, Majok said he was often raped at night. He told me that his rapes were very painful and he would rarely get a full night's sleep.

CEDAW: Slovenia:INDEPENDENT SHADOW REPORT by Lesbian Association SKUC-LL, 09/30/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
The Equal Opportunities of Women and Men Act1 adopted in 2002 does not include
discrimination on grounds other than sex. We believe that this omission weakens the scope of
the law. Other grounds of discrimination should be clearly stated in the law, such as disability,
marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic origin (Roma) etc., as they are
especially critical contexts concerning discrimination of women in Slovenia. During the
drafting of the law the written proposals submitted by SKUC-LL were not considered as
relevant.<br><br>
The Implementation of the Principle of Equal Treatment Act,2 adopted in 2004 does not
include gender identity as a discrimination ground. During the drafting of the law the written proposals submitted by SKUC-LL were not considered as relevant. Gender identity is not
considered as a discrimination ground in any of legal provisions in Slovenia.
