Violence and discrimination against trans women in Perú and the fundamental rights to health, housing and work

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to demonstrate that violence and discrimination against trans women in Peru, violates the fundamental rights to health, housing and work of these people, where it would eventually be possible to reduce violence and discrimination with gender change, on your National Identity Document. The methodology used was based on documentary, legal and jurisprudential analysis. Regarding the results of the article, the fundamental rights to health, housing and work stand out; In this sense, the trans person undergoing a sexual reassignment, their physical change is notorious, and therefore the change of gender in their National Identity Document is necessary, so that they agree not only in their physical appearance, but also emotionally, socially, culturally and above all in the way in which they identify socially with the National Identity Document, it generates rejection, violence and discrimination by not allowing them to change their gender. Concluding that, in our Peruvian society, there is a heteronormative ideology that leads to rejection and limits the enrichment of our legal system, compared to other countries, which is why it is recommended to implement an administrative procedure in RENIEC, so that trans women, without further formalities and upon request, the gender change is made on their DNI.
