Resumen

Este estudio explora las estrategias comunitarias que un grupo de mujeres trans que viven en Lima, Perú, empleó para resistir el impacto negativo de la pandemia COVID-19 en su bienestar. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de la observación participante y discusiones de grupos focales durante la implementación de una campaña de ayuda social dirigida a esta población y analizados a través de un análisis temático teórico reflexivo. Las estrategias de resistencia se entendieron como formas de capital social basadas en relaciones de apoyo y conexión. Los resultados subrayaron la importancia de la cohesión social para mejorar los crecientes niveles de precariedad, los líderes comunitarios como clave para vincular a las mujeres trans a través de diferentes redes y los esfuerzos unificados de los grupos sociales que comparten valores para influir en el poder institucional. El análisis también capturó barreras y desafíos que podrían obstaculizar el desarrollo y la articulación del capital social. Fomentar las relaciones de confianza y la organización comunitaria deben ser componentes fundamentales para los programas de incidencia que buscan apoyar a la comunidad de mujeres trans.
