The legislative proposal for social equality LGBTI+ has been debated and approved in the Parliament of Navarre, with the actions of Future Yes, EH Bil, We Can, The Left and the PSN, the latter of which extended the proposal to develop the law, although the four included it in the programmatic agreement of 2015.
What will change?
The law will take measures to combat LGTBIphobia: develop protocols; carry out awareness-raising and training campaigns; and, if necessary, impose sanctions.
For the rest, the Executive will promote the dissemination of information on gender and sexual identity in different areas of the administration, such as Health and the sports world. In education, in the same line, elaboration programs will be implemented.
In the area of reproduction, assisted reproduction will be available to all LGTBI people. As far as transsexuality is concerned, the law has taken a step towards depathologization.
