Meet Maya, an orphaned 24 year old trans woman in Yemen. She has been held in prison for multiple charges for being trans/being a "man that dresses like a woman", and for being gay.
She has been brutally beaten and sexually assaulted/raped by both prisoners and security guards. Her adoptive family abandoned her because of her gender identity and the charges against her. When she was released to go home her family beat her up. They broke her nose. They told her she deserved to die.
She ran away to another city to live with a friend temporarily. She's attempted suicide multiple times.
I got in contact with her recently after retweeting her story. She said she managed to afford an apartment with just a few retweets of her GoFundMe. All she needs is a little more money to move out of Yemen. Her goal is £12,000 and she's currently at £4,392.
"I hope that you look into my case and help me to get out of Yemen to a country that saves my right and dignity as a transgender woman."
She has stated that she is not the only trans person in Yemen to undergo torture like that. Trans people have no rights or protections in Yemen.
Please, if you have the means, even donating a dollar or two can help immensely toward the effort to save her. If not, a simple reblog as well as boosting this on twitter and other social media sites would help greatly.
