Abstract

This paper proposes to analyze the advances in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Brazil on the constitutional control of the norm that establishes the prohibition of blood donation by men who have had sexual relations with other men. The need to expand blood donors due to the covid-19 pandemic triggered a process of social pressure by democratic institutions and non-governmental organizations, which culminated in the vote of IDA 5543 and the domestic application of the principles of equality and non-discrimination and international human rights standards.
