Estudio de caso sobre las narrativas de una mujer transgénero a partir de sus vivencias frente a la violencia en el contexto llanero

Abstract

The present research aimed to understand the narratives regarding violence experienced by a transgender woman in the plains context, in the municipality of Villavicencio, Colombia. Through a qualitative approach, it was possible to recognize that the transgender population, and particularly trans women, are vulnerable to various forms of violence due to discrimination and stigmatization present in family, educational, work and social environments. Likewise, to understand these experiences of violence from a comprehensive perspective, the research is based on the paradigm of complexity, allowing us to address the interconnection of social, cultural, economic and political factors that shape these experiences. Likewise, it was framed in social constructionism, exploring how the meanings and narratives built around these experiences were shaped by the sociocultural environment. From this perspective, the research not only understood the ways in which our participant constructed her identity and her experiences in a context historically marked by invisibility and exclusion but also contributed to a collective understanding of violence and gender identity in the Llanero región.
