…Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans. This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city.

Oh. At least one per year.

In Chicago, approximately 50 to 80 women are killed per year. Women make up about 10% to 15% of the city’s overall homicide victims, with Black women disproportionately affected.

I wonder if Chicago has ever declared a femicide state of emergency.

If you type “chicago femicide state of emergency” into Google you get links to transfemicide. No links to femicide. None.
