AB  - Psychosocial, social and structural conditions have rarely been studied among 
      transgender women in the U.S.-Mexico Border. This study used Photovoice 
      methodology to empower migrant transgender women of color (TWC) to reflect on 
      realities from their own perspectives and experiences and promote critical 
      dialogue, knowledge, and community action. Sixteen participants documented their 
      daily experiences through photography, engaged in photo-discussions to assess 
      needs and identify opportunities, and developed a community-informed Call to 
      Action. Four major themes emerged from the participants' photographs, 
      discussions, and engagement: (1) mental health, (2) migration experiences and 
      challenges, (3) stigma, discrimination, and resiliency, and (4) impact of the 
      COVID-19 pandemic. Through active community engagement, a Call to Action was 
      developed. A binational advisory committee of decision makers and scholars 
      reviewed a set of recommendations to better respond to the needs of TWC in the 
      U.S.-Mexico Border. Photovoice served as an empowerment tool for TWC to assess 
      the myriad of syndemic conditions, including mental health, stigma, 
      discrimination and COVID-19, affecting them daily and identify initiatives for 
      change.
