In this episode of Asylum: Stories of Hope and Resilience, we walk alongside Gabriela, a 26-year-old trans woman from Chiapas who has faced unimaginable violence for daring to live fully and freely. Her story exposes the cruelty of systemic injustice—but also the courage to survive and dream beyond it.
