Recommendation
JS1 ... indicated that articles 15 and 26 needed to include gender and sexuality to provide explicit protection for women, nonbinary people and people with diverse sexualities. JS1 considered that another referendum should be held to amend article 26(4) of the Constitution on prohibited grounds of discrimination to specifically add “sex”. JS1 recommended to expand anti-discrimination protection to LGBTQI+ people and expand article 26 of the Constitution to include gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation. [Para 48]
