Embrace diversity and energize humanity 2017, para. 35
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- It should be noted that in some countries where these negative laws exist, they are not applied or not much applied in practice. While this is a stepping stone to mitigation of the situation, the mere existence of the laws still gives rise to bias and prejudices, feeding into extortion, persecution, multiple and intersectional phobia, and other forms of violence and discrimination, and violates international human rights norms and standards. The call to reform such negative laws must therefore be vigorous.
