Introduction Fernanda Milán - was the first transgender woman to be granted asylum in Denmark, following persecution in her home country of Guatemala. Having successfully campaigned for her own asylum with activists from various LGBT groups in Denmark, across Europe, and some other parts of the world, Fernanda has gone on to collaborate with TransAktion in Denmark. In her role as an independent activist, she gives public speeches at other organizations and universities, raising awareness of the issues faced by trans women. She also volunteers as a spokesperson on human trafficking – a fate faced by many cis and trans women across the world.
