| This report analyses dicrimination against lesbians in the job markets. It is based on statistics, law and testimonials and it takes examples from Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico and Honduras. The report seeks to make explicit the links between discrimination in the workplace and the ability of women whose sexual and gender expression does not conform to social and community norms to secure the basic elements of survival - food, housing, education and medical care - for themselves and their families. Discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation permeates the lives of lesbians, and significantly undermines their economic security. It exacerbates the sexism lesbians already experience as women, and the racism faced by people of indigenous or African descent or members of other racially - or ethnically - marginalized groups. Even worse, it compromies their ability to obtain suport from those to whom most people turn first when in financial need: their families and communities. | |
