Description

Parliamentarians have a fundamental role in efforts to promote and protect the human rights of all individuals through the effective execution of their legislative functions, their oversight of government policies, the approval of budget allocations and their leadership as democratically elected representatives by their communities.

Several PGA members have supported in their national parliaments the enactment of gender identity laws that establish simple and transparent procedures for trans people to change their name and sex/gender in official documents and records to reflect their self-perceived gender identity.
