Abstract

The criminalization of homotransphobia represents an advance for the LGBTI+ agenda, however, the protection of those who are victims of such violence is limited to a certain profile and ignores relevant social realities that make it impossible to achieve its goals. Based on data from crime reports collected by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro, from Instituto de Segurança Pública, Rio Sem Homofobia and Grupo Arco Íris, which were systematized by Aliança Nacional LGBTI, the research seeks to understand some gaps left by the application of the law that criminalizes racism to these cases, as well as the still existing impasses for the effective protection of LGBTI+ people by public agents. A socio-legal approach is used, based on queer, decolonial and transfeminist theory.
