“…In many situations, these traits contribute to behavior that subjects TrTW to stigma, discrimination, and violence. Although LGBT organizations in Brazil are well-established, especially with the advent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Brazil has still not developed legal mechanisms to respond to discrimination against TrTW [ 56 ]. Furthermore, current religious, political, and other organized groups in Brazil are taking concrete action to diminish existing protections for TrTW [ 57 , 58 ].…”

IntroductionDiscrimination related to gender identity may directly influence vulnerability to HIV through increased exposure to unprotected receptive anal intercourse (URAI). Little is known about the relationship between gender-based discrimination (GBD) and URAI with stable partners among transgender women.MethodsThis mixed-methods research began with a cross-sectional survey conducted between 2014 and 2016 with transgender women in Salvador, the capital city in one of the poorest regions in Brazil. Respondent-driven sampling was used to recruit the study population. GBD was defined through Latent Class Analysis. Additionally, 19 semi-structured interviews with participants were transcribed and analyzed through thematic content analysis.ResultsURAI with stable partners was commonly reported (37.3%). GDB was positively associated with URAI among stable partners (OR = 6.47; IC 95%: 1.67–25.02). The analysis of the interviews illustrated how GBD impacted transgender women in diverse ways. Experiences with GBD perpetrated by the family often initiated a trajectory of economic vulnerability that led many to engage in survival sex work. The constant experience with GBD contributed to participants feeling an immense sense of trust with their stable partners, ultimately diminished their desire to use condoms. Further, the high frequency of GBD contributed to poor mental health overall, though some participants said engagement in transgender advocacy efforts provided a vital source of resilience and support.ConclusionOur mixed-method study capitalizes upon the strengths of diverse data sets to produce a holistic understanding of GBD and URAI with stable partners. Furthermore, by confirming the association between greater GBD and URAI, we have demonstrated how GBD can impact condom negotiation in diverse relationships.

“…Essa posição de inferioridade pode ter como fundamento diversos fatores, como socioeconômico, legislativo, psíquico, etário, físico, linguístico, de gênero, étnico ou religioso. (PAULA et al, 2017). O fato de se encontrarem em uma posição desprivilegiada no seio social faz com que as minorias também estejam em uma condição de vulnerabilidade.…”

RESUMO A drogadição pode vulnerabilizar ainda mais acentuadamente as mulheres, na medida em que estas deixam de exercer papeis socialmente esperados, como o de boas mães, cuidadoras e provedoras. São diversos os desafios das profissões em saúde no que diz respeito à prevenção de doenças, tratamento, reabilitação e reinserção social de pessoas usuárias de drogas. A capacidade de correlacionar os determinantes sociais e as vulnerabilidades dessa população torna-se essencial para as formações em saúde, pois possibilita ampliar a compreensão do futuro profissional sobre o processo de adoecimento e seus fatores associados. Neste artigo, será relatada a experiência prática de estudantes de medicina da Universidade Federal do Triangulo Mineiro, ocorrida em uma instituição de apoio a mulheres com histórico de uso de drogas, cujos temas emergidos das rodas de conversa foram: a condição das mulheres enquanto minoria social, os determinantes biológicos e sociais que alicerçam o consumo de substâncias psicoativas, alguns perfis típicos da população feminina vulnerabilizada pelas drogas e limites e possibilidades dos tratamentos hoje disponíveis. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Dependência química. Vulnerabilidade. Mulheres. Determinantes Sociais da Saúde.

This article explores the increased vulnerability of older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) adults and their needs. Older LGBT adults lack legal protection, which leads to higher rates of discrimination in the work environment, living arrangements, and services. The impact of discrimination against older LGBT adults results in an elevated rate of physical and psychological consequences when compared to the general older population. A brief overview of legal precedence pertaining to the LGBT community is provided, and the needs of older LGBT adults are identified. Social work practice and policy recommendations are highlighted to address identified needs and improve the quality of life for older LGBT adults. A human rights framework is applied to inform all practice and policy recommendations to ensure basic human rights are met, as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The role of the social worker in addressing the needs of older LGBT adults is discussed, as well.
