Joselinne Páez
16 Aug 2025
Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco (Mexico)
Beaten
Joselinne died in hospital six days after being beaten in the street on Sunday 10th August. The identity of her attacker - or attackers - is not known.
GUADALAJARA Jal., (apro) LGBT+ groups such as Colectiva Disidente LGBTepa + and Unión Diversa de Jalisco spoke out strongly following the death of Joselinne Páez, a trans woman who was the victim of a brutal beating in Tepatitlán, Morelos. Páez, who was beaten on August 10 and taken to a hospital in Zapopan, succumbed to her injuries on August 16.
According to the police report, Páez was found on August 10 on calle 16 de Septiembre, behind Cerrito de La Cruz in Tepatitlán de Morelos, “with injuries apparently caused by blows to various parts of her body.”
Her murder follows the recent homicide of Katia Daniela Medina Rafael in Zapotlán el Grande, bringing the number of trans women murdered in Jalisco in August to two.
Fascinación Jiménez, a representative of the Diverse Union of Jalisco, also demanded that hate speech be penalized at the federal and state levels.
"Today we are sharing the unfortunate news of the transfemicide of Joselinne Páez in Tepatitlán, Morelos. This comes one week after the murder of Katia in the municipality of Zapotlán el Grande, also in Jalisco. We at Unión Diversa de Jalisco believe that these are not isolated cases.
"This is the consequence of hate speech and the wave of hate speech that has emerged worldwide from anti-rights groups in the United Kingdom, the United States, Argentina, and even Mexico. These speeches, like those of Lili Tellez and Eduardo Berastegui, translate into violence. From here, what we are demanding is that the investigation be conducted with a gender and sexual diversity perspective, that prosecutors' offices be trained in this same regard, and that they use the federal protocols that already exist"'.
