The government has proposed a reform aimed primarily at eliminating barriers to discrimination and ensuring respect for the gender identity of all individuals. The idea is to promote the inclusion and protection of the rights of those whose gender identity does not match the sex assigned at birth.
In this context, the Minister of Equality explained that the reform includes measures to improve healthcare, educational, and social services for transgender individuals. Additionally, it proposes to facilitate the change of name and gender on official documents without the need to resort to judicial processes.
On the other hand, this reform also seeks to prevent situations of labor and social discrimination against transgender individuals. Concrete measures are intended to be established to ensure equality of opportunities and treatment in the workplace and in society at large.
In the words of the Minister, "It is essential to move towards a more inclusive and respectful society towards the diversity of gender identities." With this reform, an important step is sought in the protection of the rights of transgender individuals and in the fight against discrimination based on gender identity.
