The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT) is currently fighting for the recognition of civil and political rights in many parts of the world. Without that legal protection, thinking on economic, social and cultural rights is often a utopia. Under this situation, the workplace has become one of the places where most discrimination occurs and difficulties in the enjoyment of rights are widely experienced by the LGBT community.
Human rights treaties, monitoring committees and specialized agencies, develop the system of human rights protection. Currently there is no treaty to protect the rights of LGBT people; however interpretative advances and non-binding developments built by the States have encouraged new rights protection beyond the literal content of the regulatory text that represents a progress for the right to work for LGBT workers.
