Recommendation
Ensure legal and administrative reforms to guarantee non-discrimination of LGBTQI persons, including by ensuring the right of marriage for same-sex couples, and by abolishing mandatory medical sterilization for transgender people who are seeking legal gender recognition.
Explanation
According to the government program statement, Czechia will try to adjust the legal position of registered partners vis-à-vis spouses in accordance with recommendations No. 133.204, 133.205, 133.207 and 133.212. Czechia therefore notes the recommendations regarding the introduction of same-sex marriage. Czechia will also, according to its international obligations, aim to eliminate the condition of sterilization for legal gender recognition in accordance with recommendations No. 133.200, 133.216, 133.218 and 133.219 and therefore supports the recommendation to this extent. On the contrary, at the moment, Czechia only notes recommendations aimed at legal gender recognition based on self-determination.
