Dissertação (Mestrado em Serviço Social) - Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2024.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/59031The main objective of the work is to analyze the violation of rights and human diversity under capitalism as determinants of the forced inclusion of transvestites in the activity of prostitution in the municipality of Aracati, a city located on the east coast of the state of Ceará. The path taken so far begins in the period between 2009 and 2016, where there is a first approach to the topic of transvestism, which culminated in an investigation into the process of transvestism among transvestites who prostituted themselves in a phenomenon called "ploc" in the city of Aracati and resulted in the construction of a work to complete an undergraduate course in Social Work. This master's thesis aims to expand the research already carried out by carrying out comparative research by re-examining the data obtained between 2009 and 2016 and comparing them to the new data obtained in 2023. Based on this, the work proposes, based on an analysis around the violation of rights and human diversity under capitalism, investigate the socio-historical meaning of transvestite prostitution in the Brazilian context with an emphasis on the northeast region; understand the impact of prostitution on the transvestites subject to this research; describe the characteristics that surround the daily work of transvestites in prostitution in the reality of Aracati (CE); examine the strategies with which these people respond to the economic and social difficulties of their daily lives and finally analyze the different ways in which the transvestites' blood families managed their daughters' transvestite process, from the latter's perspective. The research data is the result of a bibliographical survey and semi-structured interviews composed of a flexible script with open and closed questions where transvestites had the opportunity to express their perceptions about the themes in focus.Acesso AbertoTravestiTravestilidadeFamíliamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::SERVICO SOCIAL
