Embrace diversity and energize humanity 2017, para. 52

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Despite significant advances, important gaps remain, in particular when it comes to measures aimed at protecting discrimination based on gender identity and expression, as illustrated by the fact that fewer than half of the countries which offer legal protection from discrimination explicitly include transgender identities as grounds for discrimination. In addition, only a few States prohibit discrimination in all spheres of life; some legislation fails to cover the private sector; and other laws are not properly enforced.
