Transfemicide in the Philippines: A Preliminary Academic, Media, and Policy Reference

About the Publication

Transfemicide in the Philippines: A Preliminary Academic, Media, and Policy Reference brings together academic literature, media reports, existing data, and relevant legal and policy frameworks to provide a foundational reference for understanding transfemicide in the Philippine context. It examines the development of the term, global and Philippine experiences, landmark cases, documentation practices, and policy responses.

As STRAP’s pioneering reference on transfemicide, the publication is intended to support further research, discussion, advocacy, and policy work. STRAP recognizes the document as preliminary and sees it as an invitation for researchers, advocates, civil society, government institutions, and other stakeholders to build on the initial research and contribute to continuing efforts to address transfemicide and anti-trans violence.
