Outright Action International, ‘Argentine Bitter-Sweet Victory: Argentinian Trans Leader Maria Belen Correa Granted Asylum in the United States’, 20 December 2004
Abstract:
Transgender activist Maria Belen Correa has been granted asylum today in the United States. A native of Argentina, Correa is one of the founders of ATTA (Argentinean Association of Transvestites and Transsexuals), and a leader of what is today the very dynamic transgender movement in Argentina. The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) congratulates Correa and the US Justice Department for granting the asylum request.
