Saúde para quem? a luta dos movimentos sociais da população LGBTI+ pela efetivação de uma política pública de saúde em Manaus

Abstract

The Federal Constitution of 1988 art. 196, recognizes health as a duty of the State and the right of all, creating mechanisms through social and economic policies for the recovery, promotion and protection of the health of Brazilians, regardless of race, ethnicity, social class and gender. However, the State represents a model of society that divides, minimizes, generates social inequalities and discriminates against anyone who does not fit the norms produced and reproduced by the three main social institutions: the State, the Church and the Family. In this study in question, it is understood how the State and the political society determine the ways of being of civil society, occur through heteronormativity, whose values are guided by a patriarchal, sexist, sexist and LGBT phobic culture in which the public health, although theoretically free, universal and egalitarian, in practice a series of situations of institutional homophobia and discrimination against individuals self-identified as LGBTI + are observed and identified. This research aimed to analyze the strategies and articulation of the social movements of the LGBTI + population for the viability of the right to health in the face of the patriarchal capitalist societal model. The research methodological strategy is bibliographic, documentary and field-based. In the field research, a questionnaire with nine subjects was applied for data collection. The referred research is of a qualitative nature, seeking to give quality, voice and visibility to historically invisible subjects. With regard to the multiple results presented, the present study pointed out that the National LGBT Comprehensive Health Policy began to leave the paper in the city of Manaus in 2017, due to the struggles of LGBTI + social movements. Three years after its attempted implementation, this policy was reduced to the transsexualizing process, due to a lack of physical, human and financial resources. It became evident that all the dissemination of the services of this policy existing in the city of Manaus, are the responsibility of the social movements of this population, which make use of Cyberactivism and networking in order to reach the largest possible number of SUS users. As well as the fight and recovery front for the State to do its part and recognize the existence of LGBTI + and their health demands that go beyond HIV / AIDS and the transsexualizing process. Thus, the policy follows at a slow pace in the city of Manaus and is far from offering quality and comprehensive health, as advocated in the Federal Constitution of 1988, according to the organizational principle of SUS with a view to reducing the prejudices and stigmas that historically cause the exclusion of these people from enjoying their social rights.
