Thinking about institutional violence from a gender, diversity and human rights perspective:

an analysis in pandemic times from the province of Jujuy

Abstract

The article seeks to advance in the production of knowledge about state violence, deepening and making the analysis of institutional violence more complex from a gender, diversity and human rights perspective, based on the study of a case of police violence against a young woman trans during the ASPO in the province of Jujuy. Special consideration will be given to the systematic and structural conditions of discrimination and violence that transvestite and trans women experience as a consequence of prejudices and stereotypes that respond to a cisbinary conception of society and that constitute obstacles to equal access to rights, derived the lack of implementation of public policies and concrete barriers to access to justice. Rethinking the categories from which institutional violence is analyzed constitutes a strategy capable of moving towards the inclusion in dignity and rights of the collective of trans women, understanding that it is not enough to respect differences, but that it is necessary to move towards a plural democracy , diverse and inclusive that recognizes and guarantees citizenship in terms of equality and non-discrimination to all people.
