 In 1997, the "Asociación de Lucha por la Identidad Travesti-Transsexual" was created to defend the rights of transgender people.One of its first victories came in 2006 when the Supreme Court overturned a lower court's ruling that had stated that transgender people did not have a legal right to organize and campaign for their rights.In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that a 17-year-old had the legal right to go through the sex change process and have her legal documents changed to reflect the operation.
