Transgêneros : cotidiano no sistema prisional brasileiro

Abstract

The Brazilian reality about the treatment of transgender individuals is cruel, prejudiced and favors exclusion. The general objective of this work was to present aspects of research that expose the evolution of the struggle of the transgender and the daily difficulties that pass, mainly related to life in the penitentiary jail. To achieve this goal, a bibliographical research was developed, with a qualitative and descriptive method that circumcised the subjective aspects of the author. In accordance with the presented data, it was observed that: the trans still suffer serious prejudices, being segregated from the society; because of this segregation and rejection many find no other way of surviving but acting in the profession of prostitution; the lives of trans in penitentiary units are cruel, their individual and more basic rights as physical and psychological integrity being curtailed; some States have taken steps to minimize such atrocities, respecting trans and their rights; Mato Grosso was one of the pioneer states in promoting this change in the penitentiary organization.
