To characterize reports of violence against transvestites and transsexuals in Brazil from 2015 to 2022.
This is a descriptive time-series study. Secondary data was obtained from the Interpersonal and Self-Inflicted Violence Surveillance System, part of the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System. Cases of victims identified as "transvestites" and "transsexual women or men" were selected from the reports for 2015 to 2022. The reports were characterized according to the profiles of the victim and the perpetrator; characteristics of the violence; temporal trend for transvestite and transsexual victims; and trend by Brazilian macro-region. A descriptive analysis of absolute and relative frequencies was performed.
We selected 37,104 reports of interpersonal/self-inflicted violence against transvestites and transsexuals in the study period. Transsexual women (66.1%), heterosexuals (54.1%), adults (49.5%), and individuals of mixed race/skin color (44.5%) were the groups that predominantly suffered some type of violent episode. The percentage increase in the period was greater among transvestites (+182.0%). As for the time series by Brazilian macro-regions, an increasing trend in the number of reports was identified. The Southeast and Midwest regions showed an increase of 155.0% in reports from 2015 to 2022, while there was an 81.0% increase in the Southern region, 72.0% in the North and 69.0% in the Northeast.
Over the period, more cases were found for transsexual women victims. However, from 2015 to 2022, a greater percentage increase in cases was identified for transvestites. More cases were identified in the Southeast and Northeast regions, but the Midwest region is equal to the Southeast in terms of the percentage increase in reports from 2015 to 2022.
描述2015年至2022年巴西针对异装癖者和变性者的暴力事件报告情况。
这是一项描述性时间序列研究。二手数据取自人际暴力和自我伤害监测系统，该系统是法定传染病信息系统的一部分。从2015年至2022年的报告中选取被认定为“异装癖者”和“变性女性或变性男性”的受害者案例。根据受害者和犯罪者的特征、暴力行为的特点、异装癖者和变性受害者的时间趋势以及巴西各大区域的趋势对报告进行描述。对绝对频率和相对频率进行描述性分析。
在研究期间，我们选取了37104份针对异装癖者和变性者的人际暴力/自我伤害报告。变性女性（66.1%）、异性恋者（54.1%）、成年人（49.5%）以及混血/有色人种个体（44.5%）是主要遭受某种暴力事件的群体。在此期间，异装癖者的报告数量增幅更大（+182.0%）。就巴西各大区域的时间序列而言，报告数量呈上升趋势。东南部和中西部地区2015年至2022年的报告数量增长了155.0%，南部地区增长了81.0%，北部地区增长了72.0%，东北地区增长了69.0%。
在此期间，变性女性受害者的案例更多。然而，从2015年到2022年，异装癖者案例的增幅更大。东南部和东北地区的案例更多，但就2015年至2022年报告数量的增幅而言，中西部地区与东南部相当。
