Cultural and structural violence against homosexuality in the labour market: A reflection on the protection of unjustified non-discrimination of workers in the Brazilian legal system

Authors

Abstract

Violence against homosexuals has both direct and structural sides, and many times has a veiled character that affects the performance of their employment contract, making it difficult to access employment, career progression, and even to maintain their job. Throughout the study of Labour Law from the Brazilian legal system’s perspective and principles, this article seeks to investigate what measures can be taken to combat discrimination against homosexuals in employment relationships. Concerning the applied methodology, the hypothetical-deductive method was chosen as an approach. Regarding the procedure method, the monographic was chosen, while bibliographic research, in turn, will be used as a research technique.

Keywords:

Homosexuality, violence, employment contract, non-discrimination.
