This dissertation aims to deepen the concept of gender inequality and its repercussions in the labour context. Currently, the female figure is still a victim of numerous discriminatory practices adopted by employers, as a direct consequence of centuries of female subjugation to the patriarchy. Thus, legislative provisions have been created and implemented with the aim to suppress this discriminatory behaviour, not being Portugal indifferent to such practices. After the 25th of April, the Portuguese State has adopted an active and fundamental role in combating gender discrimination in general, but also in the work area, by prohibiting practices such as: harassment in the workplace, wage disparity, and discrimination in access to employment based on the gender of the applicant, and by adopting interventional measures with the purpose of remedying such discriminatory behaviours. Therefore, this dissertation will focus on the legislative path taken to date and the mechanisms in force to combat gender discrimination in the place of work, alluding, finally, to the effectiveness of their application.
