Abstract

In spite of a democratic governance model, due to cis-heteronormativity, the rights of incarcerated transgender women in Costa Rica are routinely undermined by pervasive direct, social and structural violence. In effect, their incarceration is often preceded by victimization in the public and private spheres. This paper will use in-depth interviews carried out with incarcerated transgender women to examine the social factors contributing to their vulnerability and the State’s responsiveness to their needs. This will be complemented by a socio-legal analysis of the current criminal justice framework. Finally, will examine if there is compliance with international human rights conventions

尽管有民主治理模式，但由于独联体-异性恋，哥斯达黎加被监禁的跨性别妇女的权利经常受到普遍的直接、社会和结构性暴力的破坏。实际上，他们的监禁往往是在公共和私人领域受害之前。本文将使用对被监禁的跨性别女性进行的深入访谈，研究导致她们脆弱的社会因素以及国家对她们需求的回应。这将通过对当前刑事司法框架的社会法律分析来补充。最后，将检查是否符合国际人权公约
