The number of transgender or non-conforming people killed this year rises to 34 — with a total number of 44 in 2020.

Fifty-one was the number of trans and non-conforming people killed last year, or so people thought.

At least 14 trans or non-binary people have been killed in 2022. According to the Human Rights Campaign, 55 of them were killed in 2021.

Although 2020 was the worst year for fatal violence against transgender and gender non-conforming people, 2021 is quickly catching up with at least 40 deaths.

In 2022, nine trans people were already killed three months in. Amariey Lei and Duval Princess were killed in January, and Matthew Angelo Spampinato, Naomie Skinner, Cypress Ramos, and Paloma Vazquez were all killed in February.

The number of trans or non-binary people killed this year jumped significantly in the last two months: from 19 to 28.
