Abstract

Transmale/Female to Male (FTM) people and their problems are mostly invisible for public policies, the media and academia around the world and in Peru. To help address those issues, we conducted a social responsibility project to develop digital communication capacities of FTM groups in Peru and Central America in 2021. This paper highlights the issues surrounding the FTM community and its use of digital media. Then, it presents the findings from the project’s experience.
