In recent years, awareness has grown of the scope and scale of violence and discrimination directed at lesbian, gay, bi, trans (LGBT) and intersex people around the world ⸺ including killings, torture, arbitrary detention and widespread discrimination in access to health care, education, employment and housing.
United Nations, regional and national human rights bodies have identified critical gaps in the implementation of international standards to address these and related violations, and have issued a plethora of recommendations, including, among them, the repeal of discriminatory legislation and measures to protect LGBT and intersex people from discrimination, violence, torture and ill treatment, and safeguard rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Increasingly, governments are taking action ⸺ whether in the form of legislation and policy measures or through targeted social and education programmes. At the United Nations Human Rights Council, more than one hundred countries from all regions around the world have voluntarily committed to take measures to end violence and discrimination linked to sexual orientation and gender identity, based on recommendations generated during the first two cycles of the Universal Periodic Review.
However, serious challenges remain. While many countries have taken encouraging steps, in most cases, these efforts have fallen short of the concerted strategy required to tackle violence and discrimination against LGBT and intersex people. Even in countries that have arguably recorded the most progress in respect of the rights of gay men and lesbians, there has been far less attention given to protecting the rights of trans people and only incipient attention to the rights of intersex people.
United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Living Free and Equal: What States are doing to tackle violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. (2016). Internet: <www.ohchr.org> (adapted).
Considering the ideas and linguistic aspects of the previous text, judge the following items.
The excerpt "awareness has grown of the scope and scale of violence and discrimination" (first sentence of the text) means that awareness has grown from a better understanding of the scope and scale of violence and discrimination.
The word "gaps", as used in the second paragraph, refers to shortcomings or failures in the implementation of international human rights standards.
The second and third paragraphs point out that human rights bodies, together with the United Nations, succeeded in compelling a number of countries to amend their discriminatory legislation.
Throughout the text, references to violence and discrimination against LGBT and intersex people highlight violations characteristic of state actors, as well as others that may also result from the actions of private individuals.
The statement made in the last sentence of the text stops short of making a categorical claim that the countries referred to have achieved the greatest progress in protecting the rights of gay men and lesbians.
It is correct to infer from the text that the United Nations’ engagement with the problem of violence and discrimination against LGBT and intersex people favored the expansion of access to preferential policies of government-mandated, legalized advantage, thereby benefiting a larger number of people from this group on a global scale.
