Embrace diversity and energize humanity 2017, para. 20
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Recent welcome developments at the national level include a new law enacted by the Parliament of Canada (Bill C-16) expanding protection under the Canadian human rights law to cover transgender persons, including protection from hate speech, and in Germany and Taiwan Province of China, moves towards recognition of same-sex marriage. In India, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation issued guidelines in April 2017, directed to all states, to allow transgender persons to use the facility of their choice in community or public toilets, and a Ministry of Health and Family Welfare resources kit for adolescents explains that same-sex attraction is normal. Peru introduced a new education curriculum on 1 January 2017 which makes it mandatory to teach about sexual and reproductive rights, abortion, sexual orientation and gender identity, and in March 2017 Japan updated its basic policy for the prevention of bullying, which expressly protects sexual and gender minority students. Several initiatives have also been taken in 2017 to ban “conversion therapy”, for example in Taiwan, Province of China, in the State of Victoria (Australia) and in the State of California (United States of America).
