In this article, an analysis is presented of the contribution of the Vicky Hernández vs. Honduras judgment to the advancement of the protection of the human rights of trans women. For this purpose, the document has been divided into two sections. The first section will focus on developing the evolution of the concept of “sex”, present within international human rights instruments, towards the concept of “gender”. Within this section, it is explained what were the contributions of the feminist movement and the importance of the same for the development of the rights of trans women, from an evolutionary interpretation of the Belém do Pará Convention. In addition, the recognition of the right to gender identity is proposed as a fundamental factor to guarantee the right of trans women to a life free of violence. Following this line, the second section will focus on developing the appearance of trans within the Inter-American System and developing gender-based violence as a form of discrimination that also includes trans women. Likewise, the importance of the analysis developed in the judgment will be raised in relation to the recognition of evolutionary interpretation for new current situations such as the appearance of the concept of “gender” in human rights treaties.
