The Project

Discrimination and sexual violence remain acute problems for LGBTQ people, particularly Queer immigrants in rural California. Carla represents transgender women who have survived violent attacks in the U.S., and have become eligible for U-status due to their cooperation with law enforcement, LGBT individuals who have qualified for legal status as victims of domestic violence and trafficking, and individuals who seek relief under any applicable visa programs.
