description The main objective of this study was to analyze, by studying the testimonies of trans women, the manifestations of sexual harassment that they face in public spaces and that violate their rights.  It was carried out from a qualitative research paradigm with some elements of participatory action research, with a critical focus on human rights.  Eight trans women subjects were investigated, who provided their testimonies through semi-structured in-depth interviews, which were triangulated or compared with newspaper reports, secondary sources, and systematized.  The study was complemented with a field investigation whereby contact was had with the context and the people under study.  Among the main findings: Public spaces dominated by heteropatriarchy are, socially, destined for the exercise of power by men against cisgender and trans women.  The violence faced by the trans population leads to irreparable damage to their lives, compromises their physical and emotional integrity, and limits their access to human rights.  The sexual harassment experienced by trans women is transphobic sexual harassment, because sexual harassment is mixed with transphobia.  This makes it necessary to carry out studies from various disciplines that contribute to the historical, social and political visibility of these populations, in addition to contributing from academia to the construction of a documentary collection that dates the actions, achievements, experiences and the history of trans populations.  It is important to carry out research from qualitative approaches that consolidate and sensitize those who investigate with the social, cultural and personal realities of trans women.

Se trabajó con ocho mujeres trans, quienes brindaron sus testimonios mediante entrevistas a profundad semiestructuradas, las cuales se triangularon o compararon con periódicos, fuentes secundarias y se sistematizaron.  Se complementó con una investigación de campo donde se estuvo contacto con el contexto y las personas en estudio.  Entre los principales hallazgos: Los espacios públicos dominados por el hetero-patriarcado son, socialmente, destinados para el ejercicio de poder de los hombres contra las mujeres cisgénero y trans.  La violencia que enfrenta la población trans desemboca en daños irreparables para sus vidas, compromete su integridad física y emocional y limita su acceso a los derechos humanos. El acoso sexual que viven las mujeres trans es acoso sexual transfóbico, porque se mezcla el acoso sexual con la transfobia. Lo anterior hace necesario que se realicen estudios desde diversas disciplinas que contribuyan a la visibilización histórica, social y política de estas poblaciones, además de contribuir desde la academia a la construcción de un acervo documental que date las acciones, los logros, las vivencias y la historia de las poblaciones trans. Es importante realizar investigaciones desde enfoques cualitativos que acerquen y sensibilicen a quienes investigan con las realidades sociales, culturales y personales de las mujeres trans.O objetivo principal deste estudo foi analisar, por meio do estudo de depoimentos de mulheres trans, as manifestações de assédio sexual que enfrentam em espaços públicos e que violam seus direitos. Foi desenvolvida a partir de um paradigma de pesquisa qualitativa com alguns elementos da pesquisa-ação participativa, com enfoque crítico nos direitos humanos. Foram atendidas oito mulheres trans, que prestaram seus depoimentos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade, que foram trianguladas ou comparadas com jornais, fontes secundárias e sistematizadas. Foi complementado com uma investigação de campo onde se fez contato com o contexto e as pessoas em estudo. Entre as principais constatações: Os espaços públicos dominados pelo heteropatriarcado são, socialmente, destinados ao exercício do poder por parte dos homens contra as mulheres cisgênero e trans. A violência enfrentada pela população trans acarreta danos irreparáveis ​​à sua vida, compromete sua integridade física e emocional e limita seu acesso aos direitos humanos. O assédio sexual experimentado por mulheres trans é o assédio sexual transfóbico, porque o assédio sexual se mistura com a transfobia. Para isso, é necessária a realização de estudos em diversas disciplinas que contribuam para a visibilidade histórica, social e política dessas populações, além de contribuir desde a academia para a construção de um acervo documental que data as ações, conquistas, experiências e história das populações trans. É importante realizar pesquisas a partir de abordagens qualitativas que reúnam e sensibilizem aqueles que investigam com a realidade social, cultural e pessoal das mulheres trans.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2021-03-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/derechoshumanos/article/view/1519210.15359/rldh.32-1.1Revista Latinoamericana de Derechos Humanos; Vol. 32 Núm. 1 (2021): Revista Latinoamericana de Derechos Humanos (Enero-junio)2215-42211659-4304reponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/derechoshumanos/article/view/15192/21248https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/derechoshumanos/article/view/15192/21277https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/derechoshumanos/article/view/15192/21278acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:31:32Zoai:ojs.www.una.ac.cr:article/15192Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2021-11-29T20:31:32Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse
