| description | ABSTRACT Objective The study aims to describe the violence perceived by transvestigender people in Brazil, linking it to primary healthcare. Methods Fourteen transvestigender people in Brazil were interviewed through 2 focus groups and 8 interviews, conducted between December 2021 and April 2022. Data analysis was performed using a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Results The statements were categorized into the following themes: “the unintentional nature of violence”, “violence in health services” and “the family as a producer of violence”. These categories show that the phenomenon of violence extends beyond intentional acts directed at a person, as originally conceptualized by the World Health Organization. Conclusion The transvestigender population experiences both intentional and unintentional violence, which impacts their physical and emotional well-being. Primary healthcare can serve as an ally in addressing these forms of violence by ensuring comprehensive care. |
