Located in the suburbs of Fortaleza, Ceará, Casa Transformar has developed into a safe haven for the LGBTQIA+ community. Residing in Brazil’s state with the second highest trans homicide cases and in a nation currently holding the top ranking as the deadliest country for trans people, the independent work by Casa Transformar is crucial for the survival of people living, learning, and transforming into themselves.
With limited resources and zero funding from the government, Casa Transformar fully operates on donations to maintain their shelter and social programs. Members of the house are welcomed from anywhere in the country, and during their residency they have access to vocational training by members of the community and a place to call home. Casa Transformar also runs a clothing program, giving new members the chance to become their true self. In most cases, for the first time in their lives, that individual is able to look in the mirror and see themselves wearing a piece of clothing matching their identity.
