Article 6 says: "Employer may not put employement-seeker in unequal position because of his/her race, skin colour, gender, age, medical condition, religious, political or other belief, membership in an union, national or social origin, family status, wealth status, sexual orientation or other personal circumstances". The law also explicitly sanctions same-sex harrasment in workplace. Discrimination based on sexual orientation is also explicitly banned in few years older Penal Code.
