Kenya Cytlaly Cuevas Fuentes (born 5 September, 1973[1][2]) is a Mexican activist who works to assist trans people and sex workers.

She is the general director of Casa de Las Muñecas Tiresias, which supports vulnerable people, including trans sex workers.

Cuevas spent ten years in jail, falsely accused of drug trafficking, with no due process.

As Cuevas ran out towards the car, she heard two gunshots and saw the man moving Paola's body to the passenger seat.

[8] They also acknowledged that they did not respect her gender identity, constantly deadnaming her in the process and refusing to recognize the nature of the crime against her.

With Fuentes's guidance, the Capital Prosecutor's office worked to compile a document that would satisfy the recommendation to assist trans victims.

[12] Following the death of her friend and the attempt after her own life, Fuentes continues to support other trans women, advocates for sex workers, and fights for the legal recognition of transfemicide.

[13] Of the efforts at the organization, she says "Our greatest revenge will be to be happy" (translated from "Nuestra mayor venganza será ser felicies").

[4] In December 2019, Cuevas received the rights to a property that would be established as La Casa Hogar Paola Buenrostro.

Named after her late friend who was murdered only for being a transgender woman, Kenia opened this refuge which is the first in Mexico to shelter and provide assistance to trans women.
