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 main task of the SOGIGESC Unit is 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 also published its Annual Report September 2018 – September 2019,
which outlines the unit’s work and progress in reaching the targets set in the
strategy and action plan.
