The project on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (transsexuals, transvestites, and drag queens), and intersex (LGBTI) persons employs analysis and advocacy in order to overcome violations of human rights violations and international humanitarian law from a gender-based perspective, specifically sexual orientation [and] gender identity (whether real or perceived). While we have opted to strategically use the LGBTI category that is widely accepted in the international human rights sphere, we are conscious that these violations in Latin America transcend these categories. An intersectional analysis of such violence demonstrates the complexities of LGBTI categories, for example, when dealing with campesinos, Afro-descendants, indigenous people, persons with disabilities, etc., in which it is necessary for a critical approximation of what we understand as “LBGTI.”
