Paola Jaqueline ("La Española")
Age 3330 Jul 2024
Monterrey, Nuevo León (Mexico)
Murdered
The body of Paola Jaqueline was found inside an apartment. A week or so earlier she had participated in the search for the missing Arantza Aldanely.
Little is known about Jaqueline's transfemicide. According to activist Sylvia Pérez, it was trans women sex workers who reported the discovery of Jaqueline's lifeless body inside an apartment.
“Española, as she called herself, was murdered violently while she was doing sex work. We have details from the testimonies of fellow sex workers who reported the incident, but we do not want to hinder due process. It is the Prosecutor's Office that must provide information on the matter,” the activist told this media outlet.
Jaqueline also worked on HIV and STI prevention campaigns. “She left an indelible mark on our lives and communities. Her fight and her love for justice will continue to inspire us. Let us not forget her legacy and continue to raise our voices against violence,” the Trans Monterrey Collective reported on social media in memory of Jaqueline.
