The need for a pro discriminatee interpretation of the judicial remedy against discrimination

Abstract

This article argues that the remedy against discrimination of Statute Nº 20.609 must be the object of what will be labeled as a pro discriminatee interpretation. This consists in an understanding of this remedy that gives relevance to the notion of protected categories, that makes possible the alleviation of the evidentiary burden of the plaintiff, that makes possible the allocation of duties of proof and persuasion to the defendant, and that makes possible the adoption of effective and preventive measures for the reparation of distinct acts of discrimination.
