Initiative has already qualified more than 2,500 people in Goiás; 60% have found formal employment
Over the past six years, 85 companies have joined the project, receiving the “Diversity-Friendly Company” social seal in recognition of their commitment to inclusion. In the same period, more than 2,500 people were trained in 22 cities in Goiás, with 60% formally employed, 30% becoming entrepreneurs and 10% seeking other forms of subsistence. The total investment was R$6.5 million.
At the same event, the fourth class of the course “Literacy in Diversity: (Re)thinking Labor Law from the Territories” took place, entitled “What can Labor Law learn from trans and transvestite people?”. The course was organized by the TST’s Race, Gender and Diversity Equity Program, in partnership with Cefast.
According to Judge Lúcia, the vulnerability of queer people in the job market is aggravated by other conditions of inequality, such as race, ethnicity and social class.
“In a society that still kills people for being who they are, exclusion from the job market is a severe form of violence. We need to move forward in fulfilling the constitutional commitment to human dignity, which includes deconstructing stereotypes and eliminating all forms of violence, including denying access to decent work,” he concluded.
