Abstract
This chapter delves into the intricate intersectionality of transgender identity and involvement in prostitution, shedding light on the heightened vulnerability of transgender prostitutes to sexual and physical violence. The primary focus of this chapter is an exploration of the challenges encountered during a qualitative and criminological study aimed at collecting first-hand accounts through semi-structured interviews with transgender prostitutes. Despite the importance of this research, building a representative sample proved to be notably difficult, highlighting the complexity of engaging this marginalized population in research endeavors. By addressing these challenges, the chapter aims to contribute to the broader discourse on the victimological phenomenon affecting transgender prostitutes and emphasizes the critical importance of overcoming obstacles in conducting empirical research in this field. The ultimate goal is to facilitate future scientific inquiry by raising awareness about the intricacies of researching violence against transgender prostitutes.
