| Summary: | In the present chapter, I present an analysis about a narrowed studied situation in Brazil: the victimization of transvestites and transwomen by the trafficking for sexual exploitation. I argue that the major drive of this problem is the discrimination and prejudice that these people suffer because of their sexual orientation, gender identity and the body they construct for the assumed gender. I use the definition of trafficking in persons (or human trafficking) adopted by the Additional Protocol to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime Concerning the Prevention, Suppression and Punishment of Trafficking in Humans, Especially Women and Children and the current Brazilian definition inserted by Law 13.344/2016. I intent to raise questions about the studies and research produced so far that point out to women as the main victims of this crime, considering the identification of a lack or even absence of data on the interviewed public. I also affirm that as long as situations of inequality persist, it will not be possible to adequately address the situation in the country. |
