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 Strategy and Action Plan 2018-2022 that includes over 50 measures 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 follows 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.
