BEIRUT - Jado is a trans woman from Beirut. A prominent figure and a motherly presence in the local LGBTQIA+ community, she is an inspiration to many. Like many others, she has to fight every day just to be herself and survive.

“When a trans woman is attacked, only her community will care for and protect her. If one of us is killed, no one else cares," says Jado. "Our struggles are invisible, and we can rarely demonstrate them because being seen can be dangerous." Despite facing social exclusion, violence and war daily, Jado remains a beacon of strength and hope.

Lien Arits and Tony Mouawad follow the life of Jado, a trans woman in Beirut.
