Assuming equality in its different dimensions is at the center of the Inter-American agenda for the 21st century, this text joins in the collective follow-up and critical analysis of the case-law by focusing on Fábrica de fuegos v. Brazil. In this case the Court deepens or expands in various ways existing criteria, giving a distinctive place to structural discrimination, intersectional discrimination, poverty-based discrimination, and substantive equality. The contributions of the ruling are emphasized, but so is the still non entirely precise use of the notions of structural discrimination and intersectionality, as well as the complexity of simultaneously translating structural and intersectional framings into remedies.
