MULHERES TRANS E TRAVESTIS: A GARANTIA DE SEUS DIREITOS E O ACESSO DEVIDO AO MERCADO DE TRABALHO

This scientific article addresses trans women and transvestites and their access to the labor market. For the equitable application of labor law, it is essential to guarantee decent working conditions, which include respect for labor legislation and a set of policies to protect especially vulnerable groups of the working population. In order to demonstrate the challenge of labor law in addressing contemporary issues, such as the one we bring up in the article, we will discuss the gaps in Brazilian legal structures to guarantee the rights of the trans population. The objective of the article is to provide a brief history of the role of women, focusing on transsexual and transvestite women, their relationship with the labor market, and the difficulties in accessing the right to equal opportunities and the right to social protection in labor, due to discrimination and prejudice based on gender. The methodology used was a descriptive and exploratory literature review, through an analysis of the laws protecting the LGBT population in Brazil, with a focus on transvestites and transgender women in the workplace, the applicability of fundamental rights, the analysis of supra-legal laws that guarantee universal rights, including International Resolutions, Treaties, ILO Conventions and initiatives for good government and business practices.
