Demonstrators took to the streets of Paris to pay tribute to Vanessa Campos, a transgender prostitute who was reportedly shot dead for defending a client from a gang of robbers.

Vanesa Campos, 36, was murdered on the night of 16-17 August in the Bois de Boulogne by a group of ten men armed with knives and firearms, a police source told Le Parisien newspaper.

Ms Campo’s murder has sparked anger among sex workers and LGBT activists.

Campaigners have demanded the repeal of a 2016 law which criminalises the purchase of sex in France. They say the law forces prostitutes to work in more isolated locations to avoid police what makes them an easy target for criminal gangs.
