In this tremendous educational world, there is one school unlike any other: the “Bachillerato Popular Travesti-Trans Mocha Celis.” of Argentina. This institution was born with the mission of promoting trans and nonbinary equality in formal education. It was the first of its kind in the world. Twelve years after its opening, the school has 290 high school students and has become a beacon for the community. Throughout their lives, trans people are denied fundamental rights such as health, decent housing, and work. The Mocha Celis school is the first step towards gaining these rights.
