These struggles range from “seemingly small microaggressions to large-scale acts of abuse, such as harassment, and violence,” the CHR said in a statement.
Thus, the CHR welcomed the approval of the newly revised Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, or Sex Characteristics Equality Bill by the House Committee on Women and Gender Equality. "Despite numerous past setbacks, we hope that this development is the start of the unimpeded progress of the bill toward its eventual passage into law," it said.
The CHR expressed hopes that there would be more concrete and serious strides in protecting the LGBTQI sector as the equality bill is "urgently needed and long overdue."
