Reports (4)
  • Status is not correct "gender identity based discrimination has also been made illegal fairly recently "
  • Status is not correct "Gender Identity (since 2013 law). No sources to hand but I imagine it's verifiable. Thanks"
  • Status is not correct "On 19 January, the Portuguese Parliament voted for the inclusion of gender identity as a protected ground of discrimination in the field of employment. Gender identity will now be added to sexual orientation and several other grounds in the non-discrimination clauses of the Portuguese Labour Code. (http://my.ilga-europe.org/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=610#3)"
  • Newer law has been passed "This is not accurate. The law changed on 6th March 2015, and transgender people can't be discriminated at work. You can see it on the link below of the LGBT association in Portugal. http://ilga-portugal.pt/noticias/662.php"
