CHAZARRETA, Irma Elizabeth. Prostitution and health: invisible experiences of women and Trans people in Argentina. Reflexiones [online]. 2016, vol.95, n.1, pp.157-167. ISSN 1659-2859.
Women and transgender people who practice prostitution as constituent violated and socially stigmatized group, not only because they belong to the female gender but also by an activity such as prostitution so stigmatized by society as a whole including men who consumed. In that sense, this paper attempts to analyze the social factors that affect the health of women and trans people in prostitution; also examine the influence of gender on the health of them. To fulfill these, it is used as a tool for data collection of life stories. It should be noted that it is progress achieved so far as a result of a broader process of qualitative research. Women and trans people in prostitution are exposed to working conditions and health unfavorable. Among them we can mention: the commodification of the body, the violence may suffer because of transit late at night in downtown areas as peripheral, the limited possibilities of negotiating condom use since the prostituyentes offer higher pay in exchange for not using it. As if this were not enough, attendance at health centers becomes difficult because of the hours of operation (in their moments of rest) and the discrimination they are exposed.
