How to read these figures

These figures come from a community registry: we document cases from news articles, social media posts, reports from families and friends, reports from organizations and the work of collectives in different states. It is not an official or exhaustive count, and the greater presence of cases in some states also reflects where we have more documentation capacity.

What it includes

  • Cases only public, reviewed by the team. Sensitive data (files, contacts, health) are never published. Duplicate records are merged and not counted twice.
  • People who could not be identified by name are also counted.
  • The date used is that of death; if unknown, that of the events or of the discovery.
  • Identity, orientation and gender expression are recorded respecting the person’s self-definition, in accordance with the SCJN Protocol and the Yogyakarta Principles. “Unknown” indicates that the information is not available.
  • Muxe y Travesti are recorded as identities in their own right. When the press says “travesti”, it is recorded that way. In Mexico there is no official registry of muxe people.
  • When it is only known that the person was part of sexual diversity, the orientation is recorded as “Sexual diversity (unspecified)”.
  • Suicides and accidents are recorded as events, not as obituaries. Crimes correspond to the recorded classification, not to a sentence.
  • The rate per million uses the population from INEGI's 2020 Census.

Underreporting

Much violence against LGBTTTIQANB+ people is not reported, is recorded under the legal name and the gender assigned at birth, or does not reach the media. That is why the real figures are higher. If you know of a case that is not here, report it. The full criteria are in the methodology.
