The aim of this comparative country analysis is to identify legal barriers and issues in areas where the necessary legislation already exists, but does not fully ensure the implementation of rights and freedoms for gay men, other MSM and trans people. In order to carry out this analysis, ECOM developed a methodology and questionnaire, which our local partners helped us to fill out. The analysis of legal practice took into account both judicial practice and government statistics, as well as reports of activists, information and statistics of organizations involved in documenting cases of violations and protecting human rights, press reports, and reports of non-governmental organizations to international bodies.
The information presented in this document can be useful for non-governmental organizations, community activists, and government representatives when planning advocacy processes and promoting the rights of PLHIV, gay men and other MSM, and trans people, addressing and eliminating barriers that prevent their access to healthcare services, and for protecting their rights and freedoms.
