Síntomas depresivos, violencia y discriminación en mujeres transgénero durante la pandemia de COVID-19: un estudio transversal
A high frequency of depressive symptoms, as well as experiences of gender-based discrimination and violence, was observed among TGW in Lima, Peru, during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, significant associations were identified between these experiences and the presence of depressive symptoms. These findings are consistent with existing evidence on the mental health impact of the pandemic, but also suggest a disproportionate burden among TGW and highlight the urgent need to address the underlying contributing factors.
