Origin

2020 - June Standing Committee

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 9.2.6, insert the following paragraph:

"ensure that access to contraception is individualised and based on the person’s needs, not on their legal gender marker;".

Explanatory note

This would allow, for example, for trans men and non-binary people assigned female at birth also to be included in measures and not denied access due to having an M or X on their identity documents.
