Diana Sacayán (31 December 1975[1] – 11 October 2015) was an Argentinian LGBT activist who fought for the legal rights of transgender people in Argentina.

Biography

Amancay Diana Sacayán was born in Tucumán on 31 December 1975. Her ancestors were Diaguita. At a young age, her family moved to Gregorio de Laferrère, Buenos Aires. She led a life of poverty with her 15 siblings.[1]

Activism

Diana Sacayán came out as transgender at the age of seventeen. Her human rights were violated several times since then. She was arrested at different times and in jail she leaned towards the Communist Party. However, in 2011, she left the Communist Party and created the Anti-Discrimination Movement of Liberation (MAL), a non-governmental organization. This organization was working against all forms of discrimination. They also emphasized empowering LGBTI people in different sectors including creating awareness for their human rights.

As the president of MAL, she was responsible for the project of non-discriminatory policies in the health institutions of La Matanza Partido. This project was aimed to include transgender and transsexual people in the health system. She also worked for raising awareness among transgender and transsexual people for their rights. Her active contribution led to the recognition of regulation for self-perceived gender identities by the State. It turned the main precedents of the National Gender Identity Law.[2] Sacayán served on the board of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association and led the Antidiscrimination Liberation Movement in Argentina.[3]

In 2012, she ran for the position of Ombudsman of La Matanza Partido, becoming the first transgender candidate for such a position. She was able to be one of the three most-voted candidates in that election. In the same year, she received her national identity card as a woman personally from the Former president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.[4]

Death

Sacayán was murdered in her apartment in Flores, Buenos Aires between the evening of 10 October and the morning of 11 October 2015 by two assailants. She was handcuffed, gagged, and brutally beaten. One of the assailants kicked her in the face so hard that part of the sole of their shoe was lodged in the skin under her chin. She was stabbed 13 times.[5]

One of the complaints about how the investigation into Sacayán's murder was being handled is that police treated it as a femicide only.[6] Amnesty International responded to the gruesome murder, stating that if Argentina didn't effectively investigate and prosecute the perpetrators, those who killed Sacayán – as well as the individuals responsible for the murders of Marcela Chocobar and Coty Olmos that occurred within the month prior to Sacayán's death – would understand the lack of action as tacit approval to murder trans people.[7]

The trial for Gabriel David Marino began on 12 March 2018.[8] For the first time in history, the Argentine Justice acknowledged that the murder was "a hate crime against the travesti identity", known as "travesticide"[9] or "transvesticide"[10] (Spanish: travesticidio; a portmanteau of "travesti" and "homicide").[11] Marino was sentenced to life imprisonment on 18 June 2018.[12] The ruling was widely celebrated by LGBT activists and has been considered "one more example of the [social] changes underway in Argentina."[11] The verdict was celebrated by INADI as progress towards an inclusive Argentina.[13]

On 7 February 2019, Minister Patricia Bullrich offered a reward of 500,000 Argentine pesos using resolution 67/2019 for information leading to the arrest of the second assailant.[14] The amount was increased to 2 million Argentine pesos on 12 January 2022, per Resolution 36/2022.[15]

In October 2020, the Cassation Chamber confirmed Marino's conviction; however, they removed the transvesticide aspect, stating only that it was aggravated violence based on Sacayán's gender.[16]

Legacy

On 17 September 2015, the Buenos Aires legislature passed Law 14783 [es], or the Transvestite Transsexual Job Quota Law, which made it a requirement that 1% of the jobs in public administration be provided to qualified transvestites, transsexuals, and transgender people.[17] Sacayán had started lobbying for the legislation in 2010.[18] Regardless of its passage, however, the government of Buenos Aires did not enforce the law.[17]

On 11 June 2021, the Argentine Chamber of Deputies approved the Diana Sacayán – Lohana Berkins Law, enacting the 1% quota on a national level. It also included incentives for private firms to recruit transvestite, transsexual, and transgender employees. It passed with 207 votes in favor, 11 against and 7 abstentions.[19] On 24 June 2021, the Argentine Senate passed the act into law, with 55 Senators approving the measure, 1 voting against it, and 6 abstentions.[20]

On 2 July 2023, the Google Doodle depicted Sacayán.[21]
