Embrace diversity and energize humanity 2017, para. 50

Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Full enjoyment of human rights by such persons is a longitudinal challenge, starting in the home and extending to the educational system, the work place and life beyond. Discrimination is also intersectional. Many countries are, however, still hampered by the lack of or insufficiency of anti-discrimination measures, which is linked with the environment leading to violence and discrimination. There is thus a need for effective anti-discrimination measures covering both the public and private spheres, and of a comprehensive kind: not only formal but substantive, not only de jure but also de facto, in addition to the building of a community open to understanding and respecting sexual and gender diversity.
