A GENDER VIOLENCE AGAINST TRANSVEST AND TRANSEXUAL WOMEN IN BRAZIL
Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals seek to ensure human rights and achieve gender equality, through the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. Based on the recognition that gender equality only will be fully achieved when elements of prejudice, violence and stigmatization that fall on transvestites and transsexual women are eliminated, this research questions the intersection between gender violence directed at transvestites and transsexuals and the right to development, based on the hypothesis that violence caused by prejudice and stigmatization of different gender identities is an obstacle to the achievement of goal 5.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals in Brazil. For this purpose, it uses hypothetical-deductive research, with the types of bibliographic and documentary research.
