“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.
