Key policy recommendations:

Strengthen capacity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex individuals, community-based organizations and groups, and create an enabling environment for their meaningful participation in law and policy reforms that affect their right to live with dignity and as equal citizens.

Adopt measures to eliminate stigma and discrimination, and protect the human rights of gender and sexually diverse people, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex, through the removal of discriminatory legal norms and regulatory barriers, particularly those reinforcing gender binary and heteronormativity, and the issuance of an anti-discrimination law.

Enact laws that protect the rights of same sex couples to cohabitate, to legally share property, and to represent each other in case of legal incapacitation; further, enact laws that provide same-sex couples, transgender, intersex persons, and their children, with legal recognition and equal protection of their family ties afforded to opposite sex unions.

Legalize sex reassignment in the Civil Code and other relevant laws, including the modification of name and gender of transgender persons on their identification documents regardless of their sex assigned at birth and their surgical status.

Facilitate collaboration across different ministries to ensure holistic attention to the issues facing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex persons across areas including education, health, employment and civic engagement.
