Aproximación teórica a los transfemicidios y travesticidios como crímenes de odio ejercidos por masculinidades en Argentina

Abstract

In the present work, a theoretical approach to transfemicides and transvesticides as hate crimes carried out by masculinities in Argentina was carried out. The theme is linked to the public knowledge problem related to violence towards trans identities that is perpetrated by subjects built from patriarchy and machismo, these are mainly heterosexual and cisgender men. Thus, its general objective was to carry out an analysis of patriarchal violence and transfemicides from a criminological perspective in relation to the gender perspective within the field of justice administration, based on a systematic review of the bibliography and investigation of secondary sources. This review made it possible to establish, in broad strokes, that the gender perspective in the treatment of hate crimes is being increasingly applied, especially since 2015, so it is necessary to recognize its progress and its importance for society in general. However, the biggest shortcoming that occurs continues to be the high rate of impunity with respect to cases of femicide and hate crimes. The regulatory framework and the advances in this regard in Argentina are extensive and extremely positive, but there is still a long way to go in terms of the implementation of public policies and actions truly aimed at eradicating this type of crime.
