Women in Brazil to Undergo a Virginity Test When Applying for Jobs

Virginity tests for teachers? This is about privacy not just feminism

The ideal candidate must like children, have excellent behavioural control, be happy to spend long hours marking, and willingly provide the headmaster with either proof of your virginity, or a full rundown of your gynaecological health.’ Wait, what?


Brazilian women are being forced to undergo virginity tests when seeking jobs in the education sector, which has sparked a lot of outrage amongst women's rights advocates. It was reported that women are being asked to undergo the tests before applying for a job posting at the state Education Department and women under 25 who are not sexually active have also been asked to provide a doctor's note confirming their virginity.
