This return to the top 10 comes after an 11th place in 2022. Portugal has been in the top ten since 2013 – due to the approval, last year, of the ban on conversion practices, the adoption of regulation of registrations of cancer screening and the recommendation of the National Ethics Council for Life Sciences that the Government regulate altruistic pregnancy, significantly expanding access to the family for male couples.
Bento warns that “with the growth of the extreme right in Parliament, there is a serious risk of a setback in the rights of LGBTI+ people”. ILGA Portugal also highlights the need to implement specific measures of the Self-Determination Law in schools and create a legal framework that recognizes non-binary gender or ‘third gender’.
Most countries still do not include sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression and sexual characteristics in their anti-discrimination legal frameworks.
