The goal of this review is to identify the legal barriers for people living with HIV, gay men, other men who have sex with men and trans*people in exercising their rights in different areas. To conduct such review, ECOM developed a methodology and a survey questionnaire, which we filled in with the help of our local partners. When analyzing legal practices, consideration was given both to judicial practices and to the information provided by activists, received from the organizations documenting cases of human rights violations and protection of such rights, news in mass media, and reports of non-governmental organizations submitted to the international agencies.
Both legislation and law enforcement practices were analyzed in terms of their compliance with the international and European standards. Besides, we analyzed rmeniathe recommendations received by Armenia within the international monitoring mechanisms as well as performance of such recommendations by the government.
