Peru:First Training Institute on Transgender/Intersex Issues in Latin America and Caribbean-11/22/05 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), responding to the needs of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) transgender and intersex individuals, convened the first-ever Transgender and Intersex Training Institute to help plan for the future of the trans and intersex movements in LAC. The two-week Training Institute took place in Cordoba, Argentina in October where a seven-member coordinating team and 19 activists and advocates from 14 countries trained together in the areas of human rights, transgender and intersex politics and activism, and organizational development. The participants shared experiences, successes, failures, and strategies to ensure full and equal social and political rights for trans and intersex individuals.<br>
In 2004, IGLHRC documented 71 murders of LGBT people, including murders that were specifically targeted at trans people in Chile, Brazil, Honduras, Argentina, Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala.<br>
* In La Plata, Buenos Aries, Argentina, Giselle, a trans sex worker, was brutally beaten to death by unidentified men while she was working. Her sister and a friend tried to launch an investigation, but abandoned the effort after receiving death threats from the police.<br>
* In Lima, Peru, in November, police discovered the body of a young transvestite who had been tortured to death. Her body was then burnt. She has not yet been identified.<br>
* In Santiago, Chile, in May, two skinheads beat a transgender woman, Cecilia Canto (45), in the street, near a police station. Police officers refused to even call an ambulance.

Having survived a failed coup d'état in April 2002 and a crippling two-month general strike from

Antigays march in Fiji- Rex Wockner-6/11/05 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Even though there are no proposals to legalize same-sex marriage, 200
Methodists marched against it in the Nausori neighborhood of Suva, Fiji,
June 25.<br>
"A marriage between two men is very sinful, it's against God's law," the
Rev. Kalivati Ravoka told the Fiji Times. "We need to make a stand
before it happens. ... The legalization of gay marriage will bring other
ungodly acts to our country."
