Elas também não são mulheres?: Travestis e mulheres transexuais em situação de prisão no Rio de Janeiro.

Travestis and transgender women have increased vulnerabilities when in prison, where they face constant violations of their basic rights to life. The study analyzed the use and ways of obtaining material gender technologies for this population in the prison system of Rio de Janeiro. A census survey was carried out with 138 interviewees, between April and June 2021. The results revealed high percentages of young adults, black, of mixed race, and with low education. Despite the dif- ficulties in obtaining and using these technologies, a better scenario was revealed when compared with other national studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
