Description
Summary:Affiche van een sensibiliseringscampagne tegen transfobie, uitgegeven door ILGA Europe in december 2009. Tekst: Discrimination against transsexual employees is illegal. The European Union protects transsexual people from discrimination in employment. In 1992, a transsexual woman was fired after she had a gender reassignment operation. She took her employer to court. In 1996, the European Court of Justice ruled that this was a case of discrimination on the grounds of sex as she was dismissed because of her gender identity. With reference to this case, the European Union included gender reassignment in the 2006 Gender Recast Directive confirming that transsexual employees are protected from discrimination. European law is clear. What about the law in your country? Photography by Christophe Haesevoets.
