The paper addresses the issue of violence and discrimination against the transgender community in Argentina, focusing on the
implementation of the quota law for transgender individuals in the workforce. It highlights the lack of practical implementation of this law and proposes appealing to national public administration bodies to ensure compliance. The importance of depathologizing transgender identities is reflected upon, as well as the institutional violence they face. The paper mentions the achievements in terms of rights but emphasizes that they are still insufficient. The Gender Identity Law
No. 26.743 is analyzed, emphasizing the importance of self-perception as a key element for recognizing gender identity. The paper also mentions previous legal precedents and highlights the significance of Argentina’s progress compared to other countries.
The author proposes to implement public policies to guarantee a true labor market for transvestites/trans people in public bodies, and suggests the creation of a “Gender Policies Unit” as a first step. It also highlights the importance of equality and non-discrimination in the National Constitution and in various international human rights instruments.
