The Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression and Sex Characteristics Unit (SOGIGESC), was set up in June of 2018 to coordinate government policy in the field of LGBTIQ+ equality and provide support to other Ministries and Departments where required.
The SOGIGESC Unit is currently focused on the implementation of the LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy and Action Plan 2023-2027 that includes over 90 measures over 10 areas primarily aimed at mainstreaming LGBTIQ+ equality across a number of life spheres such as employment, education, health, and sport and to address a number of intersectional areas such as aging, migration and disability. This strategy and action plan builds upon the LGBTIQ Equality Strategy and Action 2018-2022 and the LGBTIQ Action Plan 2015-2017.
The SOGIGESC Unit has published the below annual reports, which outline the unit’s work and progress in reaching the targets set in the strategy and action plan.
