"Ladies and gentlemen, who hasn't dressed as a widow on the 31st of December?" a woman asked on the downtown streets of Quito, Equador. She and a group of other trans women offered free makeovers to passersby as part of a week-long campaign to increase awareness of transgender rights.
According to Blabbeando, the women set up an impromptu beauty salon on the sidewalk, complete with vanity tables, stools and an umbrella, offering to change peoples' gender with makeup.
"Who hasn't explored the other side of their sexuality dressing like the opposite gender?" a trans woman asked onlookers. "We invite you to change, to try, to turn into a handsome gentleman or into a beautiful lady, so you can understand that to dress like a man or a woman does not interfere in who you are as a person."
