It focuses on intersectionality as one of possible parameters of contemporary constitutionalism. It examines the interconnection of fundamental notions of non-discrimination, race, gender, class and labour market in the design of notion of intersectionality based on analysis of the judgment handed down by Inter-American Court of Human Rights in case of explosion of the fireworks factory in Santo Antônio de Jesus (BA), drawing inspiration from thought of Kimberlé Crenshaw. This is an exploratory, qualitative study, with bibliographical resources and dialectical method, highlighting the relevance of the Court's role and indispensability of an intersectional reading and applicability of human rights.
