Minimum Agenda for Sexually Diverse People
Between 2010 and 2011 a group of civil society organizations that work for the defence of Human Rights of LGBT people in Nicaragua, collectively drafted and published an Agenda with the most urgent policy issues that need to be addressed in order to advance in the protection of their rights. The process of planning the agenda did not include the participation of any public agency, but it was an important step in the consolidation and coordination of the movement for LGBT rights in the country. The construction of the Agenda too place through the participation of members of LGBT organizations in focal groups and workshops implemented in several cities across the country. Some of the prioritized issues were the right to freedom of gender identity, the right to life and personal safety, the right to work, to healthcare and to participate in politics.
