Discrimination towards university trans students in Metropolitan Lima

The purpose of this research was to describe how discrimination against trans students is carried out in universities in Metropolitan Lima. Also called gender identity discrimination, it is included in the Yogyakarta Principles (UN), a document that seeks to serve as protection for the LGBTQ+ community. A qualitative methodology was used, triangulating designs such as multi-case studies, documentary analysis and unstructured interviews. Five trans students were the sample for this research, which taught us that each of them has a different sexual orientation, have suffered exclusion at their universities and have experienced prejudice even from their own teachers and administrative staff. It is highly recommended that all staff working on the university campus, particularly professors, receive training on issues of sexual diversity, especially transgender people, and personal unisex toilets be implemented
