Since 2014, 209 incidents of anti-LGBTQ+ related hate crimes have been reported in ten of the 32 federal entities in Mexico where the source is able to collect data from local organizations. Trans women were the main target of such crimes, representing 44.5 percent of the known victims. Men followed closely, as 40.7 percent of victims of these incidents identified as such. Moreover, the sexual orientation of over 60 percent of victims was defined as homosexual. Due to the difficulties that gathering this data poses, the source estimates that the real figures of hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community are considerably higher, with at least three unreported incidents for each known crime.
