Retos de ser mujer trans en Colombia: aspectos asociados a sus condiciones de vida

Colombia is a cisnormative country in which discussions and actions for the welfare and health of trans women have gained relevance in recent years. In this way, this article presents the challenges of trans women associated with their living conditions based on a bibliographic review in Colombia of the literature published in the last five years. The findings reveal the scarcity of studies on trans women, as well as the qualities and daily processes of social reproduction that interfere in the enjoyment and protection of their rights associated with situations of stigma, discrimination, and violence they face because of their non-hegemonic gender identity. This has a negative impact on their living conditions, health, and well-being, and perpetuates the inequities and injustices they have to face and have faced structurally and historically.
