Human Rights and Vulnerabilities Affected

Abstract:

This text attempts to analyze the case Gonzales Lluy vs. Ecuador, of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, whose decision condemned the defendant State for the human rights violations of Talía Gabriela Gonzales Lluy due to HIV infection. The study takes into account, in particular, the issues of difference and vulnerability(ies), which stand out in this demand, delineating all the judgment that, after all, recognized the intersectional discrimination that was submitted to Talía. Based on a critical-reflective review of the themes and the use of hermeneutic phenomenology, this text intends to show that the case under discussion can be constituted, in due proportion, in an important precedent of the Inter-American Court in terms of economic, social, and culture.
