Reports (3)
  • Status is not correct "Only found evidence for sexual orientation discrimination in employment being illegal. https://sherloc.unodc.org/cld/uploads/res/document/ago/ante-projecto-de-codigo-penal_html/ANTEPROJECTO_CODIGO_PENAL.EN.pdf"
  • Sources are invalid or broken "This is the legislation for Portugal - uncertain of extent to which Angola's constitution overrides this, but sexuality/ gender identity aren't mentioned under equality characteristics or employment."
  • Status is not correct "The source is not for Angola but rather for a district in Portugal covering the expansion of a domestic violence law. Portugal is very advanced on LGBT human rights."
