Principal subjects of concern and recommendations
Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity
9. The Committee is also concerned about reports of discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, in particular in employment and health-care settings. It notes with concern the lack of legislation expressly prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity (arts. 2 and 26).
The State party should review its legislation to ensure that discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity are prohibited. It should also conduct public awareness-raising activities to combat the social stigmatization of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons.
