Clarification of bias indicator (local language)

Unë jam një grua transgjinore që jetoj hapur, dhe për këtë arsye më përjashtuan nga shkolla. Po ashtu, familja më ka braktisur që para tre vitesh dhe tani jetoj në shtëpinë e vjetër, në kushte të këqija, gjithmonë e distancuar. Si pasojë, shumë herë kam përjetuar dhunë."

Clarification of bias indicator (English)

I am a transgender woman who lives openly, and therefore I was expelled from school. Also, my family abandoned me three years ago and now I live in the old house, in bad conditions, always distant. As a result, I have experienced violence many times."
