Sacayan was the Co-Leader of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Association (ILGA) and an outspoken champion of LGBT rights in Latin America. She was also the director of Argentina's Anti-Discrimination Liberation Movement (MAL). Well known and revered in Latin America, in 2012 Sacayan was personally presented with her corrected national identity card confirming the legal status of her name and gender by Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez. Sacayan is now the third trans woman killed in Argentina within a two month period.
