Diversity in humanity, humanity in diversity 2017, para. 37
- Paragraph text
- In reality, there are many social, economic, cultural, legal and political factors behind the environment that breeds violence and discrimination. Various underpinnings deserve particular attention to help prevent and overcome the negative elements of that environment. These will be referred to initially below, and in more detail in future reports from the Independent Expert. In particular, the following underpinnings are essential as part of a strategy of preventing and protecting against violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity: • Decriminalization of consensual same-sex relations; • Effective anti-discrimination measures; • Legal recognition of gender identity; • Destigmatization linked with depathologization; • Sociocultural inclusion; • Promotion of education and empathy.
