Trans woman deported to CAR forced into hiding in Bangui compound

Daniela Fuentes, a transgender woman deported from the U.S., is now living in hiding in Bangui, Central African Republic, a country with minimal legal protections for sexual minorities. She lacks documents and legal support, and faces threats to her safety while awaiting an opportunity to seek asylum elsewhere. This highlights the risks faced by deportees sent to countries where their identity is criminalized or unprotected.
