Íris Redol

Íris Redol, a 26-year-old woman, recently made headlines after accusing Hélder Costa, the owner of Teatro Maria Vitória in Lisbon, of discrimination for terminating her employment solely because she is a transgender woman. Having started her role as a dressing room assistant in March 2023, she claimed that her dismissal came just days after she began working, citing Costa's refusal to acknowledge her gender identity.
