Justiça infanto-juvenil, travestilidade e transexualidade: apontamentos sobre a marcha dos direitos

Abstract

The imprisonment of teen transvestites and transsexuals who commit infractions constitutes a fragile point on Brazilian’s socioeducational policy, once considered the invisibility and vulnerability that they are exposed to. Throughout a qualitative approach based on literature and case studies, the aim was to demonstrate such fragility in light of the theoretical framework of the Doctrine of Integral Protection, particularly on the responsibilization of those teenagers. The development of the main discussions on gender and the way through which those discussions contributed to the recognition of transvestite and transsexual experiences have been likewise pointed out. As last, the unprecedented sentence from the Brazilian Juvenile Justice System in relation to the imprisonment of a teen transvestite on the socio-educational system of Minas Gerais is reconstituted. The initial hypotheses, confirmed as last, was that the approach to this subject lacks of a mobilization of the Law aside from moral codes and put norms, considering, mainly, the respect to personal autonomy.
