Impacto psicosocial en la población perteneciente a las diversidades sexo-genéricas en situación de movilidad humana en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

This research examines the psychosocial consequences faced by individuals belonging to gender-sexual diversities who are in situations of human mobility in Quito. These individuals experience double or even multiple discrimination, not only due to their sexual orientation or gender identity but also because of their migratory status, resulting in a complex and differentiated experience of social exclusion. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach to understand how these experiences impact their mental health and social integration process. Through in-depth interviews, narratives are collected that reflect both the difficulties and exclusions as well as the resistance strategies these individuals use to build a dignified life within a challenging urban context. This work also aims to contribute knowledge that helps make these realities visible and supports the development of inclusive public policies that recognize and respect the diversity and human rights of this vulnerable population.
