Bodies, identities and violence: the gender and the human rights

Abstract

At work, the objective is to provide a theoretical understanding of gender violence, from the discussions of cases of violence stemming from discrimination based on sexual orientation or the change of gender identity. The idea is justified by the alarming reports of violence committed against gay, lesbian, and transgender. By identifying situations that have occurred in our society that is founded on unequal valuation that gives people because of gender, you can see how the discussion of equality needs to be operationalized into concrete actions that seek to interfere with the realities violate rights. We intend to analyze gender-based violence as a violation of Human Rights, especially against those who are considered unequal, the “queer crowd.”
