Statement of the CHR on the delay of the Sogie Equality Bill

THE Commission, as Gender and Development Ombud, expresses serious concern over the current setbacks in the deliberation of the Sogie Equality bills in the 19th Congress.

For the past 23 years, the Commission has stood with Sogie Equality champions in stressing the urgency of passing a measure that prohibits all forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, expression and sex characteristics.
