We think the adoption of the Yogyakarta Principles would ensure comprehensive protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, in line with international human rights obligations. We think it would guide law reform to close legal gaps, promote equality, and prevent violence and stigma. By integrating these principles, we think the Government could uphold dignity, foster social inclusion, and enhance the nation’s reputation as a leader in human rights, benefiting individuals and society at large.
