Discrimination against transgender people

The book aims to make visible the results of a qualitative research about the experiences of discrimination against transgender people in Chile, from a human rights perspective, as an ethical horizon of the discipline of Social Work. From a constructionist and queer epistemological approach, central elements of feminist theory are articulated to understand the effects of social contempt suffered by trans people, pointing out those public spaces where violence towards them is more intense. This allows us to arrive at disciplinary reflections that resituate the notion of recognition and human dignity for the development of social interventions.
