Objective: To identify social vulnerability profiles of transgender people who have experienced intimate partner violence in Brazil and to assess the association with recurrent violence and referrals to support services.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of reported cases of violence against transgender people in Brazil (2015-2021) utilizing data from SINAN/DATASUS. Sociodemographic profiles were defined using two-step cluster analysis and associations estimated by means of binary logistic regression, with odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI).

Results: A total of 3,384 cases were reported, identifying five profiles. Recurrent violence was more frequent in the South region (71.1%), among individuals with elementary education (64.9%) and those with disabilities (74.0%) (p<0.001). Fewer referrals were observed in the North region (76.6%), among Asian and Indigenous people (74.5%) and among lesbians (81.6%) (p<0.05). No significant differences were found between the profiles (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Social disparities influence intimate partner violence, but no significant differences were observed between the identified profiles.
