Brazilian labor court overturns termination of domestic violence victim

The 12th Labor Court of the Zona Sul Forum in São Paulo ruled that a doctor's termination for job abandonment was unlawful, as her absences were caused by domestic violence and death threats. The court ordered the employer to pay R$ 5,000 in moral damages, establishing a precedent for labor protections regarding victims of gender-based violence.
