Posted by costas on Wednesday, 24 January 2018Press Release
A delegation from Accept – LGBT Cyprus met today with the President of Cyprus Mr. Nicos Anastasiades, where he announced that the Government immediately forwards the draft bill on Gender Identity, Gender Expression and Sex Characteristics to the Legal Service for technical examination.
This important step was made possible following lengthy discussions between the organisation and the Government, as well as the parliamentary parties, and aims to solve a big part of everyday problems faced by trans and intersex people in our country.
The organisation, which presented the draft bill to all the main Presidential Candidates, and who all pledged support to it, expects that the technical examination will be completed within the coming two months and that the bill will then be forwarded shortly after to the Parliament for discussion, regardless of the outcome of the elections.
