[Politics] Observatory of political and electoral rights of trans people launched

[Deii]

The bet covers other countries in the region and seeks to ensure that there is no discrimination against these people in electoral processes, as well as regulations that give them real guarantees of participation.



This Thursday, the Latin American and Caribbean Observatory of political and electoral rights of trans people was launched in Bogotá. The initiative seeks to put an end to political discrimination against this community in the region and to work to pay off the historical debt that the different States have with them.

The idea is that through the observatory the obstacles that trans people have when exercising their political rights can be identified and established. Likewise, it seeks the construction of proposals and measures that allow them to guarantee their rights "in conditions of equality and without discrimination."

 

In this sense, the observatory seeks to be a guide that helps the States of the region to promote favorable conditions so that the trans po[CENSORED]tion can exercise their rights without being violated. What the observatory, created by Caribe Afirmativo, the Electoral Observation Mission (MOE), and the Trans People Action and Support Group Foundation (GAAT), also aims at becoming an open platform for organizations and activists to contribute your knowledge.
