- Intersex persons' rights
- Rights of same-sex desiring persons
- Transgender persons' rights
Type:RecommendationSession:24th session, January 2016Status:AcceptedContents:Further develop policies to ensure full enjoyment of rights and equality to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 21) The adoption of a law prohibiting all forms of discrimination is a pending challenge, but by constitutional mandate (art. 46), action is being taken to remove obstacles and to address the causes of discrimination – discrimination against members of the lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual and intersex community population is an issue being discussed by both politicians and members of the public at large.
Para 24) Progress was made in the protection of the rights of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex community in specific areas. Decision No. 695/16 makes it possible for transgender persons to use, in health-care matters, the names by which they wish to be known. Under decision No. 744/15, the Ministry of Justice adopted the protocol for the care of transgender persons deprived of their liberty and will set up a prison wing for such persons alone. The Public Defence Service approved a protocol, for use at all its offices, on assistance to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community.
Para 25) As a source of data for public policies against discrimination, the variable “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex” was included in complaints recorded in the police information system known as Marandú. An update to the Brasilia Regulations Regarding Access to Justice for Vulnerable People, currently being considered by the Supreme Court, considers sexual orientation and gender identity grounds for vulnerability. The Court, in accordance with article 25 of the Constitution, on the free expression of a person’s identity and image, recently authorized the transgender lawyer Kimberly Ayala to take the lawyer’s oath as she currently appears.
Para 26) To encourage public policies for the promotion and protection of the rights of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community, Paraguay participates in meetings of the Permanent Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Commission of the Meeting of High-level Authorities on Human Rights of the Southern Common Market.
UN Compilation:
Para 12) Three Committees, the Special Rapporteur on disability and the United Nations country team were concerned about the lack of a comprehensive anti-discrimination legal framework and the persistent discrimination suffered by … lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, …
Para 14) The United Nations country team noted that, in a historic 2019 judgment, a person had been convicted of femicide in the death of a trans woman. However, discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression remained pervasive in the practice of public institutions.
Para 20) … [HR Committee] was also concerned about the reportedly high number of deaths among persons deprived of their liberty and about the vulnerable situation of women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, and especially transgender persons, who were deprived of their liberty.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 12) JS9 noted that there was structural discrimination against … lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons.
Para 13) JS9 stated that discrimination and violence against lesbian, bisexual, transgender and transvestite persons had increased during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, that no measures had been taken to eradicate discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and that many complaints had yet to be investigated.
Para 14) Several submissions noted that various municipalities and both chambers of the Congress had declared themselves “pro-life/pro-family” in 2018 and 2019. 30 Several submissions reported that in 2019, there had been attacks on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex activists after the municipal government of Hernandarias had issued two decisions describing a march led by such activists as contrary to “public morals”.
Para 38) Several submissions were concerned about growing hostility, stigmatisation and criminalisation against journalists and human rights defenders (HRD). … Several submissions expressed concern about … LGBTQI+ … human rights defenders.
Para 68) … JS7 noted that education of LGTBIQ population was conditioned to the denial of their identity.
Para 70) … JS9 added that church representatives provided faith-based sex education in public schools and incited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Para 74) Two submissions reported that Act No. 5777/16 on the Comprehensive Protection of Women from All Forms of Violence established femicide as a criminal offence; however, the fact that the Act contained no reference to gender was detrimental to transgender and lesbian women and could lead to it being applied in a discriminatory way.
